The new 10-week fellowship, from June to August 2013, will include a week at the Knight Foundation in Miami, Fla., a nonprofit organization that funds journalism and media, and a week split between Google News and YouTube. Kinstler will also attend the Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard University.
The fellowship is designed to “help develop the next crop of reporters working to keep the world informed, educated and entertained,” the Bangor Daily News reports, and will train its fellows in “data-driven journalism, online free expression and rethinking the business of journalism.”
Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
