2004 Fellows

The third USC Annenberg/Getty Arts Journalism Fellowship took place March 7 to 27, 2004. The 2004 Fellows were:

Juan Rodriguez Flores, La Opinión (Los Angeles)– Flores has been writing for La Opinión for more than 13 years as a cultural reporter. He is the newspaper’s film critic and has served as arts & film editor. Currently, he is working on a book about sculptor Robert Graham and editing a collection of interviews with renowned international filmmakers.
Kathy Janich, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution – Janich covers arts and entertainment for Georgia’s largest daily. An experienced hard-news reporter and editor, she returned to the arts—her first passion—nearly 15 years ago, and writes about Atlanta’s cultural scene in a monthly column.
Kim Levin, The Village Voice (New York) – Levin has been art critic at the Voice since the 1980s, and her informed, socially concerned and often anti-establishment perspectives can be read weekly in the paper’s Short List. Levin also served as president of the International Association of Art Critics for six years until 2002.
Kyle MacMillan, The Denver Post – MacMillan is the paper’s critic-at-large as well as a Colorado correspondent for Artforum magazine. In his 18 years as an arts journalist, MacMillan has focused primarily on art, classical music and dance, as well as on issues that face the arts as a whole.
Laszlo Molnar, Salzburger Nachrichten (Austria) – Molnar is a Vienna-based music critic and editor, covering arts, politics, music and international festivals in Europe for Salzburg’s leading paper. He is also a regular contributor to the BR4Klassik Radio Program on National Bavarian Radio in Munich.
Olufunke Moses, Independent Weekly (Durham, North Carolina) – Moses is the arts editor for the Independent, an alternative weekly in the Triangle Area, a community noted for its universities. An accomplished fiction writer, Moses makes it a priority to give voice to local artists who are often overlooked.
Ella Taylor, LA Weekly (Los Angeles) – Best known for her film criticism, Taylor is also a book reviewer and occasional political commentator for Los Angeles’ dynamic alternative weekly. Trained as a sociologist, she specialized in television media and published a book, Prime Time Families, in 1989. For 11 years, she wrote a regular film column for the Atlantic Monthly.

Highlights of the third USC Annenberg/Getty Fellowship included the program’s first Speaker-in-Residence, John Rockwell, who edits and writes about music and dance for The New York Times. Rockwell concentrated on Robert Wilson's production of Puccini's "Madama Butterfly," conducted by Kent Nagano for the Los Angeles Opera. He also discussed Richard Strauss' "Die Frau Ohne Shatten," with sets by David Hockney.
