Endowment Effort for Knight-Wallace Middle East Fellows

Here’s an extremely important announcement:

The Knight-Wallace Fellows in Journalism at the University of Michigan is opening an endowment drive to benefit journalists from the Middle East. Knight-Wallace is one of America’s most prestigious programs in the field. Each year it attracts a dozen of the best journalists in America for a sabbatical year of custom-designed study in any field, or combination of them. The position for Middle East journalists can be named for the donor(s) and will require an endowment of $2 million. For details on the program, go to www.KWFellows.org.
