CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — The Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard has announced its 24-member class of 2012, which includes journalists who have worked in some of the most dangerous places in the world.
The 74th class of Nieman Fellows includes writers and editors who work for newspapers, magazines, radio, television and online news organizations.
Nieman Foundation curator Bob Giles says the new class has an extraordinarily wide range of experience and holds great promise for leadership and advancing serious journalism in difficult times. Former Chicago Tribune editor Ann Marie Lipinski is taking over for the retiring Giles.
Established in 1938, the Nieman Foundation administers the oldest midcareer fellowship program for journalists in the world. Nieman fellows come to Harvard for a year of study, seminars and special events.
