Media: Education Writers Who Have Won Nieman Fellowships
The Nieman Fellowship is a big deal among journalists, and this year's crop doesn't include any education writers. But that doesn't mean they haven't won in the past.
Past winners, according to an informal ask-around, include Philadelphia's Dale Mezzacappa, Chicago's Lori Olszewski, Newport News' Cathy Grimes, Oregon's Bill Graves, and EdWeek founder Martha Matzke.
Any of these wrong? Anyone I missed? Let me know.

Shame to see this year’s winners don’t include any education writers. I don’t think, other than the one Adam mentioned, you missed anybody.
