In celebration of its 15th anniversary as the leading independent source of entertainment news coverage, TheWrap is pleased to announce a new reporting fellowship in partnership with USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.

The recipient of the first TheWrap Reporting Fellowship is Tess Patton, who will receive her bachelor’s in journalism from USC Annenberg this month and will join the TheWrap newsroom for a full year beginning June 2024.

“While many in the news media are scaling back, TheWrap remains committed to the future of journalism, and nurturing the next generation of reporting talent. We are thrilled to launch this fellowship program in collaboration with USC,” said Sharon Waxman, CEO and editor-in-chief of TheWrap.
