Thirteen U.S. journalists have been awarded John S. Knight Journalism Fellowships to pursue proposals for journalism innovation at Stanford during the 2012-13 academic year.
They join eight International Knight Fellows, who were announced earlier.
2012-13 International Knight Fellows selected
The Knight Fellowships supports innovation, entrepreneurship and
leadership in journalism by supporting experienced, committed
journalists with ideas for improving their craft and the news industry.
The proposals by the Fellows include ones exploring ways to build an
engaged online community, revenue-generating journalism models combining
advertising and social media, business models for community news, and
templates to allow reporters to create interactive maps and 3-D
graphics.
During their stay at Stanford, the Knight Fellows also pursue
independent courses of study and participate in special seminars. The
2012-13 program marks the 47th year that Stanford has offered journalism
fellowships.
