Professor Andie Tucher Returns to Lead FASPE Journalism Group
Tucher, a historian and author, brings deep expertise in industry history and its role in shaping society.
Andie Tucher, H. Gordon Garbedian Professor of Journalism and Director of the Ph.D. Program, will return as a faculty co-leader for the 2025 Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE) journalism group. This marks her sixth year with the program.
FASPE immerses journalism students and early-career journalists in the ethical challenges of their profession. Up to 16 fellows spend two weeks in Berlin and Poland, visiting key historical sites and engaging in seminars with experts.
Since 2011, over 10 Columbia Journalism School faculty members and alumni have supported the program. Tucher’s continued involvement, including on FASPE’s advisory board, highlights her dedication to helping journalists prepare for social issues that they may face in their careers.
Tucher, a historian and author of Not Exactly Lying: Fake News and Fake Journalism in American History, brings deep expertise in industry history and its role in shaping society. Her mentorship offers fellows a chance to reflect on both the past and present ethical questions in media.
Like FASPE, Columbia Journalism School is committed to shaping a new generation of ethical, reflective journalists ready to tackle today’s media challenges.
