Ten Knight-Bagehot fellows in economics and business journalism have been named by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism for the 2008-2009 academic year.
They include journalists from The Miami Herald, The New York Times, BusinessWeek, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Associated Press and Dow Jones Newswires.
The mid-career fellowships provide full tuition and a living stipend of $50,000 for experienced journalists to take graduate courses at Columbia’s Schools of Business, Law and International and Public Affairs. Fellows also attend special seminars at the Journalism School led by scholars and business experts during the nine-month program, which begins in August. The program is open to journalists with at least four years’ experience.
“These journalists represent the best and brightest in business journalism,� said Terri Thompson, director of the Knight-Bagehot Fellowship program, in a statement. “We look forward to welcoming them for a rigorous program of study here at Columbia.�

Jones of The New York Times; Natalie Obiko Pearson of Dow Jones Newswires; Daniel Sorid of The Associated Press; Kyle Stock of The Post and Courier of Charleston, S.C.; Stuart Washington of The Sydney Morning Herald; and Jim Wyss of The Miami Herald.
