NEW YORK, NY – The Washington Post’s Steven Overly – a 2010 graduate of the Philip Merrill College of Journalism – has been named a 2015-2016 Knight-Bagehot Business Journalism Fellow by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
Overly is a national reporter for the Post. He writes about federal technology and energy policy. Previously, he covered the technology, biotechnology and venture capital industries in the Washington metropolitan area. While attending Maryland, Overly was editor-in-chief of The Diamondback and spent his summers interning at The Daily Record in Baltimore, The Plain Dealer in Cleveland and the St. Petersburg Times in Tampa.
In an email to Overly, Merrill College Dean Lucy Dalglish wrote her congratulations, adding, “You will make all Terps very proud.”
About the Knight-Bagehot Fellowship
Overly is one of ten Knight-Bagehot Fellows in economics and business journalism for the 2015-2016 academic year. Including the Washington Post, Fellows come from the BBC, Bloomberg News, The Economist, Fortune, Indianapolis Business Journal, and the Los Angeles Times.
The mid-career fellowships provide full tuition and a living stipend of $55,000 for experienced journalists to take graduate courses at Columbia’s Schools of Business, Law and International and Public Affairs. Fellows also attend special seminars at the Journalism School, led by scholars and business experts during the nine-month program, which begins in August. The program is open to journalists with at least four years’ experience. “These journalists represent the best and brightest in business journalism,” said Terri Thompson, director of the program. “We look forward to welcoming them for a rigorous program of study here at Columbia.”
