Twenty years ago, the Northwestern News Network was nothing more than an idea in Linton Johnson’s (BSJ95) head. But in the fall of 1993, he, Mary-Jo Lipman (BSJ95), Aimee Nuzzo (BSJ95) and a handful of other students brought NNN to life. Twenty years later, some of the founding members provide an oral history of the first year of NNN as part of Medill’s Magazine’s special NNN section. Plus, hear from a collection of alumni about their favorite NNN memories and how NNN helped prepare them for success after college.
