Chicago Public Schools continues to bank on its long alumni list, now offering a peek at top media personalities and professionals who got their start in CPS schools.

The list doesn't distinguish much between the two.

Along with such heavy hitters as Mike Royko, Studs Terkel and Ethel Payne, there's Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, game-show host Pat Sajak and Suze Orman, the financial expert featured on Oprah Winfrey's show.

CPS says more than 100 alumni have achieved renown as journalists, publishers and media personalities. The list can be found at www.cpsalumni.org/media (be sure to check out the high school pic of Anna Davlantes).

School officials must be finding success in marketing its alumni. This is the third in a series of lists recognizing Chicago alums: www.cpsalumni.org/music and www.cpsalumni.org/athletes.
