The Michigan Journalism Fellows Program has named 12 American and five international journalists to the program for 1995–96, including an appointment to the nation‘s first sports reporting fellowship.
The fellowships provide tuition and stipends for individualized study in a U-M unit or combinations of them.
“Our studies show that a sabbatical year of study is the most effective means of keeping the best people in a business that loses more than half of those who enter it,” says program Director Charles R. Eisendrath, associate professor of communication and a former Time correspondent.
