Let Medill News Service be your eyes and ears in Washington. Our reporters, graduate students at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, cover national news that affects your community.

With Capitol Hill press credentials, reporters assigned to work for you provide breaking news as well as in-depth enterprise pieces. Because these journalists may be your areas' only correspondents in Washington, they are often sought out by newsmakers, but they also take the initiative, digging into the processes of federal government to find stories that directly concern the people in your area.

Medill News Service journalists cover your congressional delegation, reporting on hearings, the House and Senate, the White House, visits from local leaders, actions of regulatory agencies, conventions and national stories as they affect people back home.

The Medill News Service operates year-round, rotating students every three months. The student reporters are in continual contact with your editors and full-time Medill faculty who thoroughly review and edit their work. You can be confident that the stories are scrupulously researched and written, recorded and shot. Medill uses the latest in industry-standard broadcast and print newsgathering technology.

Newspaper and Web site correspondents transmit their stories electronically while broadcast stories are sent by network feed or satellite, as stations require. Faculty who edit and supervise these broadcast and print reporters are experienced journalists.

Medill News Service was created in the late 1960s by former dean, I.W. Cole, who believed that the best education for journalism students is experience as journalists.

Located in the heart of D.C., the newsroom is mere blocks from news events both on the hill and at the White House.

Clients pay a quarterly fee to help cover newsgathering and technology costs. Please contact co-directors Mary Coffman or Ellen Shearer for details about becoming a client or if you would like to visit our newsroom.
