2012-13 U.S. Knight Fellows selected
Thirteen U.S. journalists have been awarded John S. Knight Journalism Fellowships to pursue proposals for journalism innovation at Stanford during the 2012-13 academic year. They join eight International Knight Fellows, who were announced earlier.
The proposals by the Fellows include ones exploring ways to build an engaged online community, revenue-generating journalism models combining advertising and social media, business models for community news, and templates to allow reporters to create interactive maps and 3-D graphics.

"#Hashtagged: How Social Media are Revolutionizing the News" will be held at 4:15 p.m. Thursday, May 17, on the Stanford campus. The symposium features the founder of Google News and NPR's social media strategist. Knight Fellowships director Jim Bettinger moderates.
