****************************************************************
Nieman Fellowships for Journalists
The deadline for journalists to apply for a Nieman Fellowship is approaching, so I wanted to remind you all that the American deadline is Jan. 31.
I strongly suggest that anyone who has ever been interested apply. The Nieman Fellowship program is the oldest and best-known mid-career program for journalists in the world. For the past 71 years, more than 1,300 journalists from the U.S. and 88 other countries have come to Harvard for a year of learning, exploration and fellowship. Among our members who have been in recent classes include Bryan Monroe, Hannah Allam, Carla Broyles, James Causey, Sam Fulwood, Callie Crossley, Renee Ferguson, Mary C. Curtis, Ann Simmons, Michel Marriott, Ju-Don Marshall Roberts and yours truly.
It was absolutely one of the greatest years of my life, personally, educationally and professionally. I have recently been appointed to the Nieman board and to the Diversity Committee. One of my goals, and the foundation's goal, is to annually get classes that are smart and diverse. The bottom line is that I would love for more of our members to apply and get involved in the application process. Below is the link that has all of the information.
Also, the foundation is adapting to the changing journalism climate and realizing that most of us are no longer in traditional journalism rolls. In my class, for example every American worked in what would be considered traditional media – AJC, Washington Post, Dallas Morning News, AP, etc…
This year's American class has only about two "traditionalists," with the rest of the class comprised of people doing online or multi-media work or working in non-traditional or growing mediums. Please get in contact with me if you are interested. And if you are interested, please start working on your application now.
