Alumnus Timothy Nerozzi earned a Robert Novak Journalism Fellowship

Timothy Nerozzi (A&S ’17) was honored with a 2025-26 Robert Novak Journalism Fellowship award.

The annual The Fund for American Studies award empowers promising young journalists to partake in research and long-form content creation. Its name honors the late Robert D. Novak, who worked as a columnist, broadcaster and reporter for The Wall Street Journal, CNN and the Associated Press.

Nerozzi is from Centermoreland, Pennsylvania, and graduated from the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences with a degree in media and professional communications. He now serves as the foreign affairs reporter for the Washington Examiner. Nerozzi is among seven journalists who will spend a year researching and providing in-depth reporting on their chosen topics surrounding the principles of a free society. His topic will focus on the prevalence and revival of religion in the U.S.

The fellows will be formally honored in November during the fund’s annual Journalism Forum and Awards Dinner in New York City.
