Many noted journalists, and from 1959, also photojournalists, have been Nieman Fellows, including John Carroll, Dexter Filkins, Susan Orlean, Robert Caro, Hodding Carter, Michael Kirk, Alex Jones, Anthony Lewis, Robert Maynard, Allister Sparks, Stanley Forman, Hedrick Smith, Lucia Annunziata, Jonathan Yardley, Philip Meyer, Howard Sochurek and Huy Duc.
It is considered the most prestigious fellowship program for journalists; Nieman Fellows have collectively won 101 Pulitzer Prizes.
[citation needed] The foundation is also the home of Nieman Reports, a website and quarterly print publication on journalism issues.

The narrative program now consists of a writing seminar for Fellows, and a public website, Nieman Storyboard,[10] which covers storytelling across media.
