The Medill School of Journalism (officially the Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications)[2] is the journalism school of Northwestern University. It offers both undergraduate and graduate programs. It frequently ranks as the top school of journalism in the United States.[3][4][5] Medill alumni include over 40 Pulitzer Prize laureates,[6] numerous national correspondents for major networks, many well-known reporters, columnists and media executives.

Northwestern is one of the few schools embracing a technological approach towards journalism.[7] Medill received a Knight Foundation grant to establish the Knight News Innovation Laboratory in 2011. The Knight Lab is a joint initiative of Medill and the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern, one of the first to combine journalism and computer science.[8]
