From the November 1983 issue of The Christian Science Journal


We are pleased to announce that Earl W. Foell, a lifelong Christian Scientist, has been appointed Editor in Chief of The Christian Science Monitor. Mr. Foell previously served as Editor of the Monitor. In the course of a distinguished career in journalism, he has also served the Monitor as Managing Editor, editorial writer, and United Nations correspondent, and won several major journalism awards. He was elected president of the international UN Press Corps. His new role includes representing The Christian Science Monitor on the world scene and writing a frequent column as well as special articles.

Assuming the duties of Editor is Katherine W. Fanning, formerly editor and publisher of the Anchorage (Alaska) Daily News. Mrs. Fanning, an active member of The Mother Church, is a member of the board of directors of the American Society of Newspaper Editors and was recipient in 1979 of the Elijah Parish Lovejoy Award, which is presented annually to a member of the newspaper profession who has contributed to "the country's journalistic achievement." (Earlier, a former Editor of the Monitor, Erwin D. Canham, also was a Lovejoy recipient.) In 1976, under Mrs. Fanning's direction, the Anchorage Daily News received the Pulitzer Prize for meritorious public service as a result of a series of reports on union activities in Alaska.

Richard A. Nenneman has been appointed Managing Editor of the Monitor. He will work closely with Mrs. Fanning, especially in the day-to-day editorial management of the newspaper. Mr. Nenneman became interested in Christian Science while a student at Harvard University. After several years in banking, he first served the Monitor as business and financial editor from 1965 to 1974. For the last nine years, before his recent return to the Monitor, he was senior vice-president of the Girard Bank in Philadelphia, where he directed the investment of all the bank's trust department assets and acted as spokesman on economic trends. He has won many awards for economic and financial reporting.
