The Medill News Service

The Medill News Service operates out of a downtown newsroom and is staffed entirely by graduate students under the guidance of experienced faculty members.  Our stories go out to a group of client publications every day.  I was a health and science reporter on the food and food science beat during my second quarter at Medill.
