Definition
A school within Northwestern University specifically for journalism students since 1921. By many, it is considered one of the top journalism schools in the country. The purpose of the school is to create future global ambassadors, according to Dean Bradley Hamm.
Joseph Medill, a managing editor at the Chicago Tribune and Chicago mayor, opened the school in 1921. The McCormick Tribune building we now know was dedicated in 2002 to be an additional journalism building. In 1991, the graduate school added an IMC curriculum when the school combined its marketing, advertising, and public relations curricula. [1]
