Thirteen SABEW members have been awarded fellowships in business journalism through The Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism.

The selected journalists will attend workshops and seminars at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication in Phoenix on Jan. 2-5.
