NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER ANNOUNCES
2011 JOURNALIST FELLOWS FOR PETER JENNINGS PROJECT
Announcement coincides with Peter Jennings’ induction into TV Academy’s Hall of Fame
Philadelphia, PA (January 20, 2011) – The National Constitution Center today announced the names of the 36 journalists and 6 collegiate fellows from across the country and around the world who have been selected to participate in the fifth annual Peter Jennings Project for Journalists and the Constitution. The conference is set to take place at the Center from March 4 – 6, 2011. The announcement coincides with today’s posthumous induction of Peter Jennings into the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’ Hall of Fame for his distinguished career as a correspondent and anchor for ABC News, a role in which he reported on many of the events that have shaped our world.
Named in honor of the late, award-winning news anchor and friend of the National Constitution Center, the annual Peter Jennings Project conference gives journalists the opportunity to explore constitutional dimensions in the news today and acquire a deeper understanding of the Constitution and its important role in the lives of all Americans. In light of the ever-intensifying discourse regarding this more than 200-year-old document, it is now more essential than ever to consider how the words of the Framers apply to life in 21st century America.

The Fellows will participate in the following events:

– Putting the 14th Amendment to the Test. This highly interactive program addresses the issue of immigration reform, including whether the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of citizenship to anyone born here should be allowed to apply to American-born persons whose parents illegally reside in the U.S. This program is open to the public.
– Behind the Scenes: Supreme Court Nominations. This program offers a special insider’s look at the process of selecting, vetting and confirming Supreme Court nominees from the perspective of those responsible for nominating, prepping and questioning candidates for the bench. This program is not open to the public.
The Peter Jennings Project for Journalists and the Constitution is an all-expenses paid conference made possible through the generosity of The Annenberg Foundation.
