At the Post, he was responsible for the paper’s news, editorial, international and electronic editions. He oversaw the paper’s most extensive redesign in its then 70-year history and also wrote a weekly column.

Mr. Stephens returned to the Journal in late 2004. In January 2005, he was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum. He has won numerous journalism awards, including a 2006 award from the South Asian Journalists Association for his coverage of the Kashmir earthquake, the 2008 Frank Knox Award for his coverage of military affairs, the 2008 Eric Breindel Prize for excellence in opinion journalism, the 2010 Bastiat Prize for his writings on economic subjects, and the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for commentary.
