The committee is chaired by Kovach, the former Washington Bureau Chief of the New York Times. The other members are:

. Laura Freid, Publisher of Harvard Magazine.

. Ronald A. Heifetz, Director Leadership Education Project, John F. Kennedy School of government, Harvard.

In separate processes, two environmental journalists (one American and one international) and up to eleven international journalists will be chosen as 1995-96 Neiman Fellows. Their selection will also be announced in May.

The Neiman Fellowships were established in 1938 through a bequest from Agnes Wahl Neiman in memory of her husband, Lucius, founder and publisher of The Milwaukee Journal. The Fellowships, now in their 57th year, are the oldest mid-career fellowships for journalists in the world. More than 900 journalists, representing various media throughout the United States and in over 60 foreign countries, have studied at Harvard as Neiman Fellows.
