This very international group has just been announced, and includes one of your bloggers. I can't wait to go to MIT for the 2009-2010 academic year, take a break from daily journalism and especially book writing, and work to improve my craft. Don't worry--I've been assured by the Knight Program folks that the blog can continue. These are my future classmates, from whom I'm sure I will learn a great deal:
Michael Barnes, A TV documentary producer from England who has worked on the American science series NOVA. Marcin Jamkowski, a writer and photographer from Poland who has worked extensively for National Geographic. Konstantin Kakaes, a writer for The Economist who has been based in Mexico City during the past four years. Chris Mooney, a blogger and author who has worked for Seed magazine. Susan Moran, a freelance writer on environmental issues from Boulder, Colorado. Onche Odeh, senior science and agriculture reporter at the Daily Independent newspaper in Lagos, Nigeria. Mary Otto, a former Washington Post reporter and now editor of Street Sense newspaper in Washington, D.C. Rowan Philp, senior correspondent at the Sunday Times in Johannesberg, South Africa.
