Getting Schooled

The Herald recently learned that Marc Cabrera, our features staff writer, has won a fellowship with the NEA Institute in Theater and Musical Theater at the USC Annenberg School of Communication.

The institute is an 11-day workshop for writers, editors, broadcast and online producers from throughout the United States. 

He's among several Herald staffers who have won prominent fellowships recently. Julia Reynolds is currently participating in a 10-month Nieman Fellowship at Harvard. Claudia Melendez is also gone for 10 months on a learning experience at Annenberg, while Jim Johnson recently completed an Annenberg health journalism fellowship that resulted in his three-part series about Natividad Medical Center.

I'm obviously proud of our talent and their willingness to continue their education.
