Laurence Stern fellowship

The Stern-Bryan fellowship, previously the Laurence Stern fellowship, is an annual summer internship program for British journalists at The Washington Post. The internship was established in honour of Post journalist, Laurence Stern, who was its assistant managing editor for national news when he died aged 50 in 1979.[1] A fund for the program is managed by the National Press Foundation. Awardees are selected by the Post.[2] Many program alumni have gone on to national prominence in British journalism. In 2020, the fellowship was renamed the Stern-Bryan fellowship in hour of Felicity Bryan, who started the scheme in 1980.[3]
