Knight Fellowships names
12 American journalists for the class of 1999-2000
Twelve U.S. journalists
have been awarded John S. Knight Fellowships at Stanford
University for the 1999-2000 academic year.
During their stay at
Stanford, the Knight Fellows will pursue independent
courses of study and participate in special seminars.
This marks the 34th year that Stanford has offered
fellowships for professional journalists.
Financial support for the
U.S. fellows comes primarily from an endowment provided
by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
