Medill Journo All Up in Ivy Dailies’ Piece
Ah, late summer! What a time to work for a daily Ivy newspaper. The semester's about to start, you've spent all summer relaxing with a leisurely weekly publication schedule, and you just can't wait to get after that breaking news!
But ... what's that noise, you ask? That stinging sensation? Oh, nothing, it's only Laura McGann bitch-slapping the shit out of you. The Northwestern (graduate) journalism student scooped the national press in mid-August, when sh'all was sleepin', by revealing that the federal Department of Education has been sharing data from hundreds of student loan applications with the FBI for almost five years. McGann's blockbuster story (it got red-faced pickup in the Chronicle of Higher Ed yesterday and the New York Times today) sets the bar for investigative student journalism, topping David Zhou's Kaavyabomb in the Crimson last semester.
Tough act to follow, Ivy reporters. And you're supposed to be tops in the game. Looks like you've got your work cut out for you!
