Stephen's post reminded me of the most recent issue of Chicago  Magazine.  I 
don't generally read this magazine, not usually caring which  gala ball was 
attended by who, or which trendy club is opening up this  month.  But a friend 
passed it along to me based on the cover headline 'The  Battle at NU's 
Journalism School' (just below a monkey perched on a woman's  shoulder).
 
Basically, the author, Dirk Johnson, described how new Medill head John  
Lavine was blowing up the Medill curriculum, replacing it with concentrations in  

'new media' and marketing.  It sounded like students, faculty and alums  were 
not happy about this.  
 
Anybody know anything about these developments ?  The story was kind  of 
short, and left me with quite a few questions.  Should we be worried  about 
Medill 
?  Do we risk losing our very high Journalism School ranking  ?  Could we 
lose our dominant position in sports media ?
