Northwestern, Rephrased 34318

In a desperate attempt to gain some attention, the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern is considering renaming itself.

John Lavine, Dean of the school, said, “We’re really exploring what the name should be, could be, what people think about it.”

When we think of the Medill School, here???s what comes to mind:

• The I Spent $160,000 and I still Can???t Get a Job School of Journalism.

• The Hoping For Some Short Term Publicity School of Journalism

• The Nicole Lapin (from CNN) Went Here School of Journalism

• The Suburban Chicago Media Scene School of Journalism

Hey, all those names are catchier than “Integrated Marketing Communications,” which is an actual contender.
