OAKLAND, Calif., (June 4, 2001) -- The Robert C. Maynard Institute for Journalism Education awards the first Charles Jackson Fellowships to Judith Howard, City Editor at the Arlington Morning News and Rhina Guidos, Reporter for the Reno Gazette-Journal. The fellowships enable them to participate in the Institute’s Management Training Center at Northwestern University’s J. L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management this summer. The Maynard Institute’s Chairman and CEO Mark N. Trahant and his wife, author LeNora Begay Trahant and the Freedom Forum sponsor this year’s fellowships.
Fellowship recipients will attend a five-week program to prepare them for future management positions. Judith Lynn Howard reports across media platforms and develops community outreach projects. Rhina Guidos, a University of Nevada at Reno graduate, was recently honored by the Nevada Women's Fund with a Woman of Achievement award and was a 1998 Chips Quinn/Freedom Forum scholar.
The Charles Jackson Fellowship was established in memory of the late African American journalist Charles Jackson, former Maynard Institute programs director. Jackson’s 35-year career spanned the whole of print journalism, from the Dallas Weekly to The Washington Post, including award-winning coverage at The Oakland Tribune.
