Journalists from six countries among 18 Logan fellows
RENSSELAERVILLE — Eighteen journalists make up the seventh class of fellows at the Carey Institute for Global Good’s Logan Nonfiction Program this fall. Set to arrive on Oct. 15, the fellows will work on critical long-form investigative articles, books, and documentary films.
With this class, the Logan Nonfiction Program will have provided support to more than 100 independent journalists.
Arriving to the Carey Institute from six different countries, the fellows include Jacqueline Olive, an independent, award-winning filmmaker; Marya Hornbacher, a Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times best-selling author; Jer Thorp, the New York Times’ first Data Artist in Residence; and Linda Yablonsky, an art journalist.
The fellows of this class will be reporting on a range of topics including the Right-to-Die movement; the impact of wilderness and nature on incarcerated people; the effects of mass killings in Srebrenica during the Bosnian War; and the connection between America’s history of lynching and the realities of racial violence today.
Applications are open for the spring 2019 session, which begins in February. Nonfiction writers, documentary filmmakers, photojournalists, podcasters, and multimedia creators at work on deeply reported projects are invited to apply by Oct. 15. The program provides fellows with lodging, meals, professional guidance, and community for up to 10 weeks on the institute’s 100-acre historic estate in upstate New York.
