Nieman Foundation Curator Bob Giles notes: “The new fellows are a highly talented group of journalists with extraordinarily diverse backgrounds and interests. Together, they’ll have the opportunity to share their expertise and learn from each other as they take full advantage of the exceptional educational resources available at Harvard. This year, a large number of them are freelancers, and some have launched innovative journalism projects. They represent a new breed of pioneering journalists who will carry us, well informed, into the future.”

Established in 1938, the Nieman Foundation administers the oldest midcareer fellowship program for journalists in the world. Working journalists of accomplishment and promise are selected to come to Harvard for a year of study, seminars, and special events. More than 1,300 journalists from 90 countries have received Nieman Fellowships.
