WSJ names Bartley Fellows

The Wall Street Journal today announced the 2007 Robert L. Bartley Fellows, who will receive paid internships to work at the Journal editorial page worldwide and the Far Eastern Economic Review.

The Journal selected seven candidates out of more than 50 applicants. The fellowship program is named in honor of the late editor of The Wall Street Journal, Robert L. Bartley, who directed the Journal’s editorial and leisure & arts coverage from 1972-2002.

“These fellowships are intended for young men and women whose views are broadly consistent with Bob’s belief in economic and political liberty and who aspire to careers in journalism,” said Paul Gigot, editor of the editorial page for The Wall Street Journal. “I’m delighted to welcome them to the Journal and Review.”
