One local Nieman Fellow gets the call

Journalists love being tapped by the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard. Nieman Fellows get a year of study, some financial help, a new network of colleagues and a resume entry that opens doors in the business. This year's class includes Samuel Loewenberg, a freelance journalist (for The Lancet, The Economist and others) based in Los Angeles who will study "neglected factors in global health interventions, foreign aid reform and the role of journalism in increasing accountability." He's one of two Nieman Global Health Reporting Fellows whose time includes a four-month reporting project funded by the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.
