Robert Novak, the inspiration for the Robert Novak Journalism Fellowship, meets with TFAS journalism students following a book signing and lecture.

The evening will also showcase an update from our 2019 Novak Fellowship Recipients and reflections on the life and legacy of Robert Novak.

Novak provided the inspiration for the Robert Novak Journalism Fellowship Program in 1994 as a way to nurture a new generation of responsible journalists. Today, the Novak Program has awarded more than 140 fellowships to promising young journalists who are climbing the ranks as groundbreaking reporters, editors, editorial page writers, columnists and authors.
