William and Mary Diederich College of Communication. The Nieman Chair was endowed in honor of Lucius W. Nieman, who founded the Milwaukee Journal in 1882.
Brennen will teach an undergraduate course in ethics and a graduate seminar in communication theory and organize the Nieman Symposia and Nieman Lecture Series.
