| 2007 Reflections on American Journalism
Introduction
One of the goals of the Alfred Friendly Press Fellowships is that Fellows transfer knowledge gained on the program to colleagues at home. At the conclusion of the 2007 program, we asked the Fellows to reflect on their AFPF experience and project how they will share what they've learned when they return home. We asked each of them to write a report specifying one or two U.S. journalistic practices, standards and/or values that they learned and would like to share - with both the upper level manager who supported their application and their professional peers.
Specific questions we asked the Fellows to think about:
What have I learned through my participation in AFPF?
Which of those skills/ideas/values could work at home?
How can I convince my bosses that these are useful/productive skills?
How will I successfully share my enthusiasm with my colleagues?
What’s my timetable?
How will I measure success - and how will I celebrate it?
We invite you to read and enjoy these essays. Each offers interesting insight into journalism in the U.S. and abroad, giving us a richer understanding of the world in which we live.
