Reynolds Business Journalism Network by, for example, participating in the annual planning meeting of the Reynolds chairs in business journalism.
Loch Adamson, London bureau chief for the
Institutional Investor and a member of the 2011 Nieman class, is the first Reynolds Nieman Fellow in Business Journalism. She is studying the ecology of risk in the global financial system and exploring the challenges that industry practitioners and policymakers now face in anticipating and containing market crises.
Made possible through a five-year grant from the
Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, this annual fellowship is offered to journalists who are U.S. citizens and who report on business issues. Journalists selected for the fellowships may take advantage of classes across campus, including those offered at
Harvard Business School.
