\"Dawn<\/a>

<\/a> Dawn Turner Trice<\/p><\/div>\n

Chicago Tribune <\/a>columnist Dawn Turner Trice and investigative reporter Jason Grotto will be out of print \u2014 at least temporarily \u2014 while spending the next year at Harvard University.<\/p>\n

The two are among 24 journalists from around the world selected for prestigious Nieman Fellowships<\/a> at Harvard during the 2014-2015 academic year.<\/p>\n

Calling it \u201ca time to reflect, reboot and renew,\u201d Trice will study creative nonfiction writing and screenwriting for documentary films during her year in Cambridge, Massachusetts. \u201cThis means that I will be leaving you for a while to spend the coming school year studying and soaking up every wonderful thing the fellowship offers,\u201d she told readers in a farewell column <\/a>Monday.<\/p>\n

\"Jason<\/a>

Jason Grotto<\/p><\/div>\n

Grotto, a member of the Tribune\u2019s watchdog team, will study finance, accounting and economics to enhance his investigative reporting skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased that Dawn and Jason were honored with Nieman Fellowships,\u201d said Gerry Kern, senior vice president and editor of the Tribune. \u201cIt is a great opportunity for them to expand their horizons. Our expectation now is that they would rejoin the Chicago Tribune at the conclusion of their fellowships.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pulitzer Prize-winning architecture critic Blair Kamin was the last Tribune writer awarded a Nieman Fellowship. He spent the 2012-2013 academic year studying architecture, landscape architecture and urban design.<\/p>\n

Former Tribune editor Ann Marie Lipinski, a 1990 Nieman Fellow herself, is curator of the Nieman Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
