The National Press Foundation has chosen 22 journalists for the 30th anniversary class of its prestigious Paul Miller Washington Reporting Fellowship, which introduces promising young reporters to the city they’ve been assigned to cover.
From September to June, this one-day-a-month fellowship gives print, online and broadcast journalists from top news organizations an intensive – and lively – overview of reporting in the capital. Over the course of nine months, fellows will visit the Pentagon, the Supreme Court, the Capitol and other key Washington institutions, and they’ll discuss politics with policymakers, top experts and the best reporters in the business.
The 2017-2018 Paul Miller fellows are:
