Nieman curator Bob Giles said he changed his mind after a furor erupted when the issue surfaced during last weekend's reunion of Nieman fellows.
The decision to cancel was greeted warmly by some Nieman alumni who voiced concern about the foundation, the nation's preeminent midcareer program for journalists, training people how to interact with the media and dealing with officials from a nation with a record of repressing free speech.
The next day, a letter posted on the site from the 2005 Nieman fellows lauded Giles's stewardship of the program and said the face-off at the reunion was ''less a family feud than a reflection of a generation gap" between the current class and its predecessors.

Roy Clark is encouraging the Nieman Foundation to make a "slight course correction" in its Narrative Conference next year to acknowledge a small group of complaints that this year's program unfairly offered a forum for liberal Bush-bashing.
The Nieman Foundation's very purpose in devoting our resources to narrative was in play in this decision: we made it precisely because narrative journalism, done ethically and well, vests reporters with the power to reach far into the human consequences and meanings of events that we care about so much.
The Nieman Foundation has never thought of its role in organizing this event to include the editing of scripts or the policing of talks.
