<p>For starters: Felicity Barringer (chief environmental correspondent, NYT), Aljean Harmetz (film correspondent, NYT), Glenn Kramon (business editor, NYT), Neil MacFarquhar (United Nations bureau chief, NYT), Gerry Shih (reporter, NYT), Philip Taubman (former Washington D.C. bureau chief, NYT) and the late Daniel Pearl (foreign correspondent, WSJ). Other notable Stanford alumni in newspaper journalism include: John Arthur (executive editor, LA Times), Doyle McManus (Washington D.C. bureau chief, LA Times), Christopher Reynolds (reporter, LA Times), Claire Spiegel (editor and reporter, LA Times), Joel Stein (columnist, LA Times) and Rajiv Chandrasekaran (editor, Washington Post).</p>
<p>Due to self-selection, it’s conceivable that Northwestern (Medill) grads may be more highly represented in newspaper journalism than Stanford grads. Nonetheless, I still stand by what I said earlier: “All things being equal, the NY Times or Wall St. Journal will be more likely to hire an HYPS grad than a Northwestern (Medill) grad.” It is because, given the undergraduate journalism degree offered at Northwestern (Medill), the latter is much more likely to seek employment in the newspaper industry than the former. The two propositions (namely, higher representation but lower likelihood to be hired) are not logically inconsistent.</p>
