Meet the 2009 Kips

Come join Central Ohio SPJ and The Ohio State University to meet the Kiplinger and Knight Fellows Class of 2009. This year’s class includes journalists from The Detroit News, The Tampa Tribune, The Daily Times in Maryville, Tenn., The Chronicle in Centralia, Wash., and the Times-Gazette in Hillsboro, Ohio.

During their six months at the John Glenn School of Public Affairs at Ohio State University, the fellows will be working on newspaper multimedia projects about multiracial teens, crime recidivism, flooding, business closings and post-industrial communities.

The Kiplinger Program in Public Affairs Journalism is dedicated to helping talented journalists unite rigorous reporting with multimedia storytelling and demonstrate the value of innovative public affairs projects that inform wider audiences about issues critical to their lives.

This event is FREE and will be held Jan. 22, 5:30 p.m., in the Wine Room at the Worthington Inn, 649 High St., Worthington. There will be a cash bar and free hors d’oeuvres.
