Nieman Fellowship
The Nieman Fellowship was established in 1939 by the US foundation The Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University in Cambridge (Massachusetts) . The one-year scholarship is designed to give beneficiaries, who are reporters, editors, photographers, columnists, cartoonists and internet professionals, the opportunity to develop their skills and reflect on their professional skills.
Organization of the scholarship
The scholarship holders are accommodated at Harvard University in Lippmann House . During the year at the university, they take part in courses, but also attend foundation seminars. Among other things, it sees its task in ensuring that the 25 to 30 scholarship holders can carry out their profession with renewed vigor and new ways of looking at things after they return to their posts thanks to their experiences at Harvard and the USA.
The number of scholars selected annually is between 25 and 30 people, around half of whom are US Americans and the other half are foreigners.
