2009 IRP Fellow Tara McKelvey
2009 IRP Fellow Tara McKelvey is among six journalists to receive a 2010 Alicia Patterson Foundation fellowship. McKelvey spent five weeks in Russia reporting on loose nuclear materials as part of a grant from the International Reporting Project (IRP).
The Alicia Patterson Foundation fellowship program for journalists was established in 1965 in memory of Alicia Patterson, who was editor and publisher of Newsday for nearly twenty-three years before her death in 1963. One-year grants of $40,000 and six-month grants of $20,000 are awarded to working print journalists and photographers. Fellows pursue independent projects of significant interest and write/illustrate articles based on their investigations for the APF Reporter, a quarterly magazine of the foundation.
