The Edward R. Murrow Press Fellowship offers an annual resident fellowship for nine months, typically from September through May, at the Council’s offices in New York. The program aims to help the Fellow increase competency in reporting and interpreting events abroad and allows a period of nearly a year for sustained analysis and writing, free from the daily pressures that characterize journalistic life. The program is now made possible by a grant from the CBS Foundation, and is intended to promote the quality of responsible and discerning journalism that exemplified the work of Edward R. Murrow during his life. Renamed in 1965 in his honor, the fellowship was originally established in 1949 with support from the Carnegie Corporation, as the Fellowship for American Foreign Correspondents.
Edward R. Murrow was one of the most distinguished and renowned reporters in U.S. broadcast journalistm, a pioneer in radio and television journalism. He covered the Second World War for CBS from London and the front lines in Europe. He then returned home and began the popular and groundbreaking television news show “See It Now.” In 1961, he was named director of the United States Information Agency. In 1964 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
