Larchmont’s Levinson Awarded National Press Foundation Fellowship

LARCHMONT, NY — A Village of Larchmont native has been recognized as one the most promising political reporters in the country.

The National Press Foundation has named 20 journalists for the Paul Miller Fellowship 2023 Class, including Larchmont's James Levinson. For more than three decades, the renowned Paul Miller Reporting Fellowship has helped talented reporters navigate the political arena in Washington, D.C.

This one-day-a-month fellowship gives print, online and broadcast journalists from top news organizations a Washington insider's overview of reporting in the nation's capital. As a member of the Class of 2023, Levinson will have the chance to network with top lawmakers, political experts and legendary political correspondents.

Levinson's colleagues said the honor is well-deserved. His passion for media and politics has continued to be a driving force throughout his career. Levinson started in journalism as a staff writer for The GW Hatchet, the student newspaper of the George Washington University, which is second-oldest continuously running newspaper in DC, only behind The Washington Post. He covered the crime beat, where he met weekly with lead detectives to investigate criminal activity and its impact on the campus.

Since then, Levinson has taken his talents to the big leagues. He now works at FOX News as a National Field Producer.

According to colleagues, Levinson has a natural curiosity for the news, and willingness to ask the tough questions are essential in propelling any story forward, making him a natural choice for the honor. His fellowship experience will only grow the Mamaroneck High School graduate's talents and boost an already promising career.
