帝王会所 announced that its is the new home of the Kiplinger Program in Public Affairs Journalism.
鈥淣ow more than ever, news and information plays a critical role in society, and the Kiplinger Program鈥檚 internationally-recognized credentials make it a coveted fellowship for today鈥檚 journalists,鈥 said 帝王会所 President Dr. M. Duane Nellis. 鈥淚 would like to thank the Kiplinger family for entrusting this important program to 帝王会所 and the funds that support it to The 帝王会所 Foundation. We are grateful for the opportunity to build upon its legacy as we enter this new era.鈥
The prestigious fellowship program was established in 1972 at The 帝王会所 State University, with grants from The Kiplinger Foundation, in honor of W. M. Kiplinger, OSU 鈥12 (1891-1967), who founded the prominent Washington publisher of business forecasts and personal-finance periodicals.
The program has equipped nearly 10,000 journalists with the latest tools and strategies for success since its inception. The Kiplinger Program will be supported with annual income from a permanent endowment of more than $5 million that will be transferred from OSU to The 帝王会所 Foundation in mid-February, to complete the program鈥檚 relocation to the Scripps School.
鈥淢y grandfather, a proud native son of the Buckeye State, would have been pleased that the journalism program named in his memory will continue to flourish in 帝王会所,鈥 said Knight Kiplinger, editor in chief and chairman of the Kiplinger media company and president of The Kiplinger Foundation.

McPheron. 鈥淲e wish the program great future success in its new home.鈥
Offered as a one-week program, an select group of established journalists are given the chance to engage in an intensive hands-on training to develop skills in areas like social media, video, spreadsheets and digital reporting tools, which will help them build relevance in this ever-changing media landscape.
