Larry Madowo celebrates a new appointment

Former NTV presenter, Larry Madowo is well known for his commitment to work. His fans were so annoyed after he left NTV to BBC. His former show, ‘The Trend’ was so attached to him that it even lost the fame after he left.

His commitment and hardworking spirit has not seized as he gets appointed to attend Columbia Journalism. He shared his happiness through his Instagram account where he wrote; “Some personal news: I’m honoured to be heading to Columbia Journalism this summer. I have no words now, just gratitude.”

In its 44th year, the program is the largest and the most rigorous mid-career journalism fellowship in the world with 400 graduates. The Knight-Bagehot Fellowship in Business and Economics at the Columbia Journalism School announced today ten Knight-Bagehot Fellows for the 2019-2020 academic year. 

They come from top media publications and their work has been published in Bloomberg, MarketWatch, Quartz, Politico, Mother Jones, BBC, Africa Report, The Washington Post, Reuters, and The Journal News in White Plains.”These Fellows reflect what was one of the most globally competitive and diverse applicant pools the Bagehot program has seen in its 44 years,” said Raju Narisetti, professor of professional practice and director of the program.

“When they graduate in 2020 with a much deeper understanding of business, economics, technology and public policy, they will join 400 other Knight Bagehot alums living up to the mission of providing better context and understanding to their audiences globally.”

The mid-career journalism fellowships provide full tuition and a living stipend of $60,000 for experienced journalists to take graduate courses at Columbia University, primarily at Columbia’s Schools of Business and Journalism. Fellows also attend special seminars at the Journalism School, led by seasoned journalists, media business executives and a broad range of tech, finance and economics experts during the nine-month program, which begins in August.
