- Archibald MacLeish, 1938-1939
- Louis M. Lyons (Nieman Fellow class of 1939), 1939-1964
- Dwight E. Sargent (Nieman Fellow class of 1951), 1964-1972
- James C. Thomson Jr., 1972-1984
- Howard Simons (Nieman Fellow class of 1959), 1984-1989
- Bill Kovach (Nieman Fellow class of 1989), 1989-2000
- Robert H. Giles (Nieman Fellow class of 1966), 2000- June 2011
