RECOMMENDATIONS
Charles Whitaker, Charles Deering McCormick Distinguished Clinical Professor, Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University: “As chairman of the board of directors of Students Publishing Co., the non-profit entity that oversees Northwestern’s student publications, I was on the team that selected Nicholas Jackson to serve as editor of The Summer Northwestern in 2008. His thoughtful and creative stewardship of the paper produced some of the most engaging summer issues SPC has ever produced. Nicholas is a very bright and resourceful editor who is brimming with ideas. He also demonstrated this during his time at the helm of PLAY, the midweek supplement of The Daily Northwestern, another SPC product. If you are looking for an industrious and hard-working young editor, you need look no further than Nicholas.” — August 2009
Libby Nelson, Editor-in-Chief, The Daily Northwestern: “Nick did a fantastic job as editor in chief of The Weekly. Running a section that had been in existence for only a few months, he took it to its peak: the best content with the fewest accompanying problems. With Nick in charge, I knew that every week would bring a high-quality, well thought-out publication that was was completed on time and only needed me to glance through it so it could go to press. Everything was well done and ran smoothly.” — August 2009
Pamela Colloff, Senior Editor, Texas Monthly: “First, some background for context. I have been a senior editor at Texas Monthly for eleven years. Texas Monthly has won nine National Magazine Awards, the industry’s equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize, and has a readership of 2.3 million, so it attracts an impressive group of interns. I have worked with hundreds of interns over the past eleven years, two of whom have stood out from all the rest. The first is now the Editor-in-Chief of a magazine here in Texas called Tribeza that boasts a readership of over one hundred thousand. The second is Nick. I was very impressed by his ability to almost instantly become part of the fabric of our magazine. Nick was fearless when it came to introducing himself to the writers and editors on staff. By the end of just the first week of his internship, he had carved out a niche for himself doing reporting for our political blog, researching stories for our staff writers, and penning his own stories. He quickly became indispensable.” — September 2008
Dr. David Abrahamson, Professor of Journalism, Charles Deering McCormick Professor of Teaching Excellence, Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University: A mentor, employer and long-time professor, Dr. David Abrahamson, whose excellence and experience in the field (Managing Editor, Car and Driver; distinguished author, professor and journalist) I greatly admire, told me the day that I graduated from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism that I write like Rahm Emanuel, which I took to mean convincingly, precisely and with authority — the highest compliment. — June 2009
