WIP announces 2008 fellows
The World Press Institute has chosen 10 journalists to be fellows in its 2008 international journalism program.
They include investigative reporters, news editors, and, reflective of the growing influence of online/new media, online journalists, covering everything from political conflicts in Zimbabwe to economics in China to healthcare issues in South America.
The WPI fellows will spend eight weeks in the United States, being exposed to the free-press system in this country and the social and cultural diversity of the U.S.
A highlight of this year’s fellowship, which runs Aug. 18 to Oct. 10, will be the opportunity to cover the Republican National Convention in St. Paul in September.
Following the Convention, the fellows will travel to Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., New York and Chicago, returning for a final week in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
