Over the course of nearly a decade, The Mash published stories on issues that really mattered to teens: birth control, transgender rights, feminism, the legalization of marijuana, white privilege, and the evolution of social media, to name a few. Mash writers heard from and were mentored by some of the most illustrious journalists at the Chicago Tribune. Students interviewed celebrities, worked in the newsroom on election night, and covered athletic events. The Mash has much to be proud of, and we hope anyone who ever contributed to The Mash or even read one of its articles shares in that feeling.
