“Congratulations to Hillsdale College’s Senior Journalism Fellow Mollie Hemingway for winning the 2021 Bradley Prize.  The award is well-deserved recognition for a great journalist at the top of her game,” said Dr. Matthew Spalding, Vice President for Washington Operations and Dean of the Van Andel Graduate School of Government.

Hemingway teaches journalism to Hillsdale College’s undergraduate students participating in Hillsdale College Washington, D.C. Campus’ Washington Hillsdale Internship Program (WHIP).  Her teaching encompasses the fundamentals of reporting, research, writing, and how to navigate living and working in the nation’s capital.

“Mollie is an inspiration to me and countless other conservative women.  She gave me opportunities to assist in her research projects, and more importantly, she is an exemplary model of a female trailblazer in conservative media,” said Hillsdale alumnus Alex Nester.

Hemingway provides unique and thoughtful reporting and analysis of American politics and culture.  She helped launch and is a senior editor of the online magazine The Federalist, which has become one of the most influential voices in politics and has millions of readers.  She is also a Fox News contributor and a regular member of the Fox News All-Stars panel on Special Report with Bret Baier.

Hemingway is the co-author of the national best-seller Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court. Her upcoming book, Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized our Elections, will be out October 12th.
