The USC Annenberg/Getty Arts Journalism Program named seven leading arts journalists as 2004 Fellows on Tuesday. Funded by a grant from the J. Paul Getty Trust, the program seeks to improve the quality of arts journalism through three intensive weeks of vigorous debate among established and emerging artists and heads of cultural institutions from many disciplines. "The 2004 Fellows approach the arts from different points of view, but each has tasted what it is like to influence their readership strongly," said Sasha Anawalt, founding director of the program. "Each questions the medias power, and asks how the arts writer and editor can play an increasingly more significant, positive role." Almost 100 applicants from eight foreign countries and the United States applied for the fellowships.
