First Things warmly welcomes a new Junior Fellow, Anna Williams, who flew in to New York City just yesterday evening. A brief bio:
Anna Williams is a recent graduate of Hillsdale College and a former Collegiate Network fellow on USA TODAY’s editorial board. At Hillsdale, she studied English and Spanish, edited the independent campus newspaper The Hillsdale Forum , and was active in the college’s Catholic and pro-life groups. Following her graduation, she spent a year working at USA TODAY, where she wrote several op-eds and assisted with research, fact-checking, and editing. She also blogs for Ignitum Today .
We’re looking forward to the good work she’ll be doing for the magazine and the website, and know that the time spent with USA TODAY will have her producing material sure to stir conversation in the blog forum.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
