WASHINGTON, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Fund for American Studies (TFAS) will present Brian C. Anderson of City Journal with the Thomas L. Phillips Career Achievement Award and Benjamin Hall of Fox News with the Kenneth Y. Tomlinson Award for Courageous Journalism at the 30th Annual TFAS Journalism Awards Dinner.

TFAS will host prominent figures in the journalism community for the event on November 14, 2023.

At the dinner, TFAS will award Brian C. Anderson, editor of City Journal, the cultural and political quarterly published by the Manhattan Institute, with the Thomas L. Phillips Career Achievement Award for his remarkable career. Formerly, Anderson was senior editor of City Journal and a research associate at the American Enterprise Institute.

Benjamin Hall will be honored with the Kenneth Y. Tomlinson Award for Courageous Journalism.

Hall currently serves as a correspondent for Fox News Channel (FNC). In March of 2022, while covering the war in Ukraine, Hall was wounded when his team was struck by incoming fire outside Kyiv.

TFAS will also formally announce the seven recipients of the 2023-24 Robert Novak Journalism Fellowship. Diana Glebova of the New York Post, Fiona Harrigan of Reason, Anthony Hennen of The Center Square, Charles Fain Lehman of City Journal, Daniel Di Martino of the Manhattan Institute, Jimmy Quinn of National Review, and Isaac Schorrn of Mediaite will spend one year researching and providing in-depth reporting on their chosen topics surrounding the principles of a free society. Topics include the legalization of drugs, lessons from Venezuela's destruction by socialism, and the Chinese Communist Party's influence, among others.

The evening will also honor Sierra McClain, this year's Joseph Rago Memorial Fellow for Excellence in Journalism. Named after Joseph Rago, a Wall Street Journal editorial board member who passed away in 2017, the Rago Fellowship awards a qualified aspiring journalist with a nine-month internship with The Wall Street Journal's editorial page.

TFAS is proud to be an organization that fosters leaders in journalism, a considerable number of whom advance to become recipients of the Pulitzer Prize, best-selling authors, and editors at esteemed national publications.
