ABOUT DEADLY DEBRIS

A Medill National Security Reporting Project

DEADLY DEBRIS is a three-month investigation by a team of students at Northwestern University’s Medill Graduate School of Journalism that examines the deadly legacy of the United States’ use of landmines and cluster bombs around the world and its $2 billion effort to clean them up. Medill students reported the series from Cambodia, Iraq, Ukraine, Mozambique and Jordan. The team is comprised of student project manager Christopher Walljasper, who reported for the series and designed the website, Carolyn Freundlich, Alexandra Hines, Eliza Larson, Rachel Menitoff, Melanie Saltzman, Matthew Schehl and Tammy Thueringer.

Where Medill reporters traveled — five countries on three continents
