Nguyen Anh Tuan, Robin Sproul, Geoffrey Cowan ’64, and Tom Fiedler are the newest recipients of the Shorenstein fellowship, a program dedicated to exploring the influence of the press on politics and public policy that began in 1986 with just one fellow, Clark Hoyt, now the public editor at The New York Times...
...small segment of our readership that may have been an issue,? Fiedler says. ?An equal or larger group cheered him on. This is what we paid Jim to do, to provoke discussion that forced others to think about their position. Jim did exactly what I would want any good columnist to do.

DeFede still holds out hope that he can get his old job back. He bemoans the fact that he never spoke directly with Fiedler before he was fired. (Fiedler says that he had hoped to speak to DeFede but said that airport security had taken his cellphone away as he was going through the checkpoint prior to boarding. That's when Diaz and Beatty gave Defede the news of his firing.) DeFede says he would...
