Lindsay Peters, a senior broadcasting major from Columbia, Tenn., is the first recipient of the Charles M. Anderson Public Broadcasting Fellowship. Jack Hanes, WKU’s director of Educational Telecommunications, made the announcement Nov. 12 during a ceremony to recognize Dr. Anderson and his wife, Faye, for their $100,000 gift to create the fellowship that will allow students to gain hands-on experience with WKU’s public broadcasting program — a program he helped create during his 31 years as a faculty member and administrator. The endowment, when fully funded, will provide for up to three fellowships per year to allow students in the WKU School of Journalism & Broadcasting to work at WKYU-PBS and WKU Public Radio. Dr. Anderson and his wife are both WKU alumni; Faye Anderson also spent 13 years working for WKU. The ceremony was held at Mass Media and Technology Hall’s photo gallery.
