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, and The Guardian. She has appeared extensively on major broadcast networks and was once 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 to study how narratives shape civic life.
The Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy is a Harvard Kennedy School research center dedicated to exploring and illuminating the intersection of press, politics and public policy in theory and practice. The Center strives to bridge the gap between journalists and scholars, and between them and the public.
