Six Journalists Under 30 to Watch, aka ONA Announces MJ Bear Fellows
The Online News Association just announced its inaugural MJ Bear Fellows. The brand-new fellowship is granted to three up-and-coming journalists — all under the age of 30 — whose work represent the best in new media. (We covered the application process back in April.)
While the three winners will be receiving most of the spotlight, I wanted to call attention to the fact that ONA, an organization dedicated to journalism innovation online, gave honorable mention to three other applicants. All of these young journalists, as ONA Executive Director Jane McDonnell said, are “not just growing within the industry, they’re leading the way.”
The 2011 fellows are:
- Lucas Timmons, 27, a data journalist and web producer for The Edmonton Journal in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada;
- Laura Amico, 29, founder and editor of Homicide Watch D.C.
WORK SMARTER - LEARN, GROW AND BE INSPIRED.
