The USC Annenberg School for Communication and The Getty Foundation are 
pleased to announce the 7th annual USC Annenberg/Getty Arts Journalism 
Fellowship. Formerly held during the spring, the program for 2008 will 
be offered in the fall (November 1 to 22), in order to coincide with 
USC`s academic year and take advantage of the resources available 
through the University, including its new Master`s Program in arts 
journalism.


Six to seven arts journalists who bring distinction to the field will be 
chosen from the applicant pool.  This is an international program for 
mid-career arts editors, critics and reporters from print, radio, 
television and online who cover the performing and visual arts, 
architecture, literature, entertainment and pop culture.  They can be 
generalists or specialists. Staff writers, editors and freelancers and 
self-employed Web journalists alike are welcome to apply.


Based in Los Angeles, the fellowship is a total immersion experience 
that includes attending as many as 23 performances, art exhibitions and 
architectural sites.  Participants will visit private studios, rehearsal 
rooms, architectural firms and art schools providing many 
behind-the-scene opportunities to meet renowned artists, arts 
administrators and accomplished journalists face-to-face.
