Fellowship

Term

Julia Allison, cultural commentator, entrepreneur, and former journalist, has been recognized by The New York Times as having “pioneered internet fame” and by Rolling Stone as “inventing being an influencer.” She began her career as the youngest full-time legislative staffer in the 107th Congress, later writing for publications including the New York Times, Newsweek, Elle and a syndicated column for Tribune Media. She has appeared extensively on major broadcast networks from CNN to MTV, and was featured on the cover of WIRED as a prototype of new media. At Shorenstein, she will explore how social and legacy media intersect with technology and culture, building on her work with Reimagine Media and The Bohemian Embassy. She holds a BA in government from Georgetown and an MPA from Harvard’s Kennedy School.
