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]
