Newly minted Boston College graduates Will Martino and Molly Wysocki will serve as 2026-27 Joseph A. O’Hare, S.J., Postgraduate Media Fellows with America Magazine - The Jesuit Review, starting in August. They will work at the company’s New York City offices to gain experience in Catholic media and other aspects of professional journalism.

O’Hare Fellows create content for mul­tiple platforms, such as web, print, digital, social media, and events, and gain profes­sional experience through mentoring and other opportunities. They meet regularly with America’s editorial staff and editor at large to expand their professional networks and build their journalism skills.

Martino and Wysocki reflected on key experiences at BC that crystallized their interest in storytelling, even though neither began their journey at BC thinking jour­nalism would be the career path for them.

“I joined The Heights [BC’s independent student newspaper] on a whim my fresh­man year and it totally changed my life. I fell fast in love with reporting, writing, and telling stories that the people around me cared enough to read,” said Martino, a political science major with minors in finance and journalism, who served as the newspaper’s managing editor in 2024 and editor-in-chief in 2025. “I care a lot about doing thorough reporting so that I can tell stories that go beyond the narrative that people—or I—expect.”

“I’ve always considered myself a storytell­er, but the thought of going into media or journalism professionally never crossed my mind until this year,” said Wysocki, an eco­nomics and theology major with a minor in applied psychology and human behavior. “I am pursuing this fellowship primarily because of its connections to the world of Catholic theology, which is something I’ve grown to love during my time at BC.

Barron urges graduates to do legal work that matters to them.
