The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting has announced the first three recipients of Persephone Miel Fellowships that support an international journalist reporting on a “systemic global issue in their home country.” The Pulitzer Center funded the additional two fellows in order to jump-start the program, hoping to encourage more donations to the fellowship fund. (Here is the announcement from Internews, where Persephone worked.)

Persephone was a dear and cherished Berkman Fellow, and an activist committed to international understanding, and a friend. She died this June, about a hundred years too soon.
