Our National Security Specialization is now in its second academic year at Medill. We have 15 masters’ students participating in the Winter 2014 quarter — our largest group ever. Five students have graduated and are now “National Security Journalism Specialists.”
A unique offering among journalism schools nationwide, the specialization gives students the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge and hands-on reporting expertise needed to excel in covering some of the most crucial stories of our times – those affecting the national security of our country.
Potential stories range from increased use of drones to patrol U.S. borders and communities around the country and cybersecurity attacks on domestic infrastructure like oil pipelines to the refocusing of the military to the Asia Pacific region and the problems facing today’s veterans. Meet the specialists.
