I just wrote a long reply, that I think I lost. Oh well. I will try to re-create it later. The gist was that I got a master's from Medill in 1984, and have worked in journalism ever since, and I found Medill totally invaluable, teaching me things I never would've learned on the job. As for going into journalism - that's a whole different issue, but I'll comment on that as well. Mainly I wanted to say that anyone considering a j. school education should do their homework before deciding one way or the other. And keep an open mind.
Any questions, feel free to contact me at

Thanks,
