Medill senior Michelle Sheen (BSJ26) spent her time at Northwestern studying how design can shape the way journalistic stories are consumed. She double-majored in journalism and Asian languages and cultures (ALC), and also pursued the Segal Design Certificate to learn more about design thinking and visual communication. 📰

Sheen was recently featured in the alumni magazine for being a Northwestern Scholarship recipient. "There were so many ways that I was able to take advantage of the funding and the financial aid that I received to experience new things," says Sheen. "All of these experiences have definitely changed my idea of what I can do and what I can pursue."

Since 2005, newspapers in areas with U.S. military bases have disappeared at a rate four times higher than the national average. And the remaining outlets are covering these bases less and less – since 2016, there has been a 40% decrease in the number of stories about local military issues. 🗞️🇺🇸

Zachary Metzger of Medill Local News Initiative was recently on CNN to share findings from his study on loss of local news near U.S. military installations.
