Sponsored by The Curve Foundation, the fellowship honors the 35-year publishing legacy of Curve and provides financial support to emerging journalists whose work fosters fair and accurate coverage, while elevating the voices of LGBTQ+ women, trans, and nonbinary people.
Franco Stevens, Curve's founder and publisher, said: “We’ve watched this program transform emerging talent into powerful forces in LGBTQ+ media. Past participants are now telling our stories at places like The New York Times, ESPN, Scripps News, and The Associated Press. They’ve become GLAAD correspondents, earned major awards, and are making their mark as on-air journalists across leading networks. It’s incredibly moving to see how they’re shaping the industry and amplifying our communities."
“These emerging journalists represent the future of LGBTQ+ media,” said NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists Executive Director Adam Pawlus. “Their work reflects a deep commitment to telling the stories that matter most, which is ever more crucial as our communities navigate an increasingly hostile and unpredictable climate.”
