About IWMF Lauren Brown Fellowship

The Lauren Brown Fellowship was created in memory of Lauren Alix Brown, a founding editor at Quartz Media who died in 2019 at the age of 37.

As director of special projects, Lauren oversaw some of Quartz’s most ambitious journalism and dedicated her career to lifting up writers from marginalized backgrounds. A mentor to many young journalists who came through Quartz, Lauren was committed to harnessing the power of new media to expose readers to people whose voices were traditionally overlooked.

The Lauren Brown Fellowship, created by her colleagues, family, friends and peers, carries on Lauren’s legacy and impact by supporting the next generation of women journalists from underrepresented backgrounds

 Grants will support:

• Reporting that exposes under-reported and critical issues.
• Ambitious projects that challenge under-reported media narratives.
• Professional development to build field-based expertise and strengthen careers.
• Skills training and leadership opportunities.

 

• Sponsor Organisation: International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF)
