AHCJ members Maryn McKenna and Amy Dockser Marcus are among the 10 Dart Center Ochberg Fellows, named by the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma.

Ochberg Fellowships are awarded to mid-career journalists who have covered issues ranging from street crime, family violence and natural disasters to war and genocide.

According to the Dart Center, the weeklong program offers journalists the opportunity to learn from experts in the many dimensions of trauma and to forge relationships with colleagues who share their interests. Fellows attend several days of seminars and participate in the annual conference of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies.

McKenna, an independent journalist and author based in Minneapolis, was recently elected to AHCJ’s board of directors. Dockser Marcus is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The Wall Street Journal and an author.
