    Nieman Fellows selected for class of 2014
    The Nieman Foundation has selected 24 journalists as fellows in the class of 2014, the 76th cohort to study at Harvard since the foundation’s founding in 1938. The group includes reporters, editors, columnists, digital media leaders and producers in print, broadcast and online who work around the globe and across media platforms.

    Announcing the class, Nieman Foundation Curator Ann Marie Lipinski said, “They are extraordinary journalists who have much to offer each other and the broader Harvard community interested in the future of journalism. As Nieman celebrates its 75th year, it is exciting to witness the ways in which these fellows are working to uphold journalism’s highest standards while focused on innovations for radically shifting audiences, technologies, and business models. We look forward to working with them all.”
