Plans to Put Journalist in Space Delayed by NASA

COLUMBIA, S.C. — The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has postponed plans to include a journalist on the next space shuttle flight, officials said Monday. The space agency told the Assn. of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communication in a letter to notify the 40 journalists who survived preliminary cuts that the “selection process will remain on hold until NASA is able to identify a definite mission which could include a journalist participant.”
