The Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy, located at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, recently announced its fellows for the fall. These Shorenstein Fellows will work on research projects while at the center.

“This fall’s lineup of fellows and visiting faculty includes some of journalism’s most esteemed players,” said Alex S. Jones, the center’s director. “We have assembled a group of all-stars in honor of our 20th anniversary.”

The 2006 fall fellows are as follows:

In addition, the center will have the following three visiting faculty members:
