The Radio and Television News Directors Foundation has announced the 2005 recipients of its Educator in the Newsroom fellowships. Each summer the program places university-level broadcast educators in radio and television newsrooms for four weeks to refresh their skills and master new technologies. The project improves the flow of information between journalists and educators that is necessary for sustained, high-quality journalism education.
