The new (journalism) world order is going to be fascinating. As a former Knight Fellow from the class of ‘08, it feels unbelievable to hear about the stuggles or even demise of esteemed news organizations where our classmates worked, places like the Seattle P-I and San Fran Chronicle. At the same time, there were a lot of great ideas already blossoming during our year at Stanford. It’s reassuring to know the fellowship, and each new class of fellows, will be leading to charge in reinventing what’s next.

It’s gratifying to see that the carefully thought out changes in the Knight program have come into effect at just the time they’re most needed. Journalism was undergoing a sea change already, then the economy completely tanked: a perfect, awful storm.

Here’s to the new generation of Knights, and their success in facing the challenges ahead.

The industry is sorely in need of people who have the support that they need to innovate. What I’m hearing is that people are so wrapped up in pushing the daily product out of the door that there’s no room or time to do anything innovative. So, even if they’re not being laid off they’re leaving on their own. Frustrated.

The shift in the fellowship has come at the right time. Looking forward to seeing the results.

A voice from the past and now from China where I have been teaching for the past six years on the adventure of a lifetime. I hope you will have occasion to visit.
I read with interest and no surprise the increase in applications that you had this year. Small wonder as the pain of change ripples through journalism.
Among your applicants was a colleague and friend Mei Fong, a Pulitzer winner from the WSJ in the Beijing Bureau. Her husband and I were teaching colleagues at Columbia when you and I first met during the search that elevated you to your current role.
Long way of satisfying my curiosity of why Mei did not make the first cut? The reason I ask is that I get frequent requests from journalists about the value of the Knight and what their chances are. I realize selections are a moving target from year to year based on many factors, but when a Pulitzer winner doesn’t make the cut, I wonder if the very fact that she achieved the ultimate accolade was what kept her from consideration.

I hope this find you well and I am sincere when I say I hope you can find time to come to China where we can show you a slice of the reportorial world that you may not have thought of inthe context of this fascinating country.

cheers
