Under Deans I. W. Cole and Peter P. Jacobi, Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism now requires its graduate students to take two seminars in the reporting of public affairs. Courses are offered in urban problems, education, science and technology. One student who took a course in the U.S. legal system grumbled that it was "just like an advanced political-science course."

But the scene could have been almost anywhere in the U.S. Students in college, high school-and now in some cases even grade school-are turning to films as a form of artistic self-expression as naturally as Eskimos turn to soapstone carving...
