In 1975, the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University sought to address the problem of deficiencies in business news coverage by establishing the Walter Bagehot (pronounced bad-jit) Fellowship, an intensive year-long program of instruction in economics and business for working journalists.

Today, the Knight-Bagehot Fellowship is the only academic mid-career program for journalists exclusively devoted to the study of business and economics. The chief criterion for selection is demonstrated journalistic excellence. During the past 35 years, 313 accomplished journalists have completed this rigorous program, and now many hold key positions in newsrooms around the world.

Funds raised at the 35th Anniversary Dinner Celebration will go toward Fellows’ tuition and program expenses, and help assure that this Fellowship remains at the forefront of professional development opportunities for journalists.
