Program Successes

Our fellows are a rare bird in the newsrooms of Washington and Manhattan, and their impact is broadly felt. Every week, we hear from political friends around D.C. that the most fair reporters they speak with in every newsroom are graduates of our programs. They’re right, and we’re right proud of it.

In the last five years, we’ve graduated 43 reporters from our journalism training program, sending young, hard-working, center-right reporters to top newspapers, national magazines, major broadcasters and leading news sites. Often, these young, center-right voices are the only of their kind in newsrooms otherwise completely aligned against our way of life. We’re proud of our graduates, but we know they need reinforcements. With your help, they’ll get them.
