Fowler were named personal technology columnists at The Wall Street Journal.[7] In 2016, Stern received a Gerald Loeb Award[8] for her Wall Street Journal videos, including her video review of the Apple Watch (which includes a cameo appearance by Rupert Murdoch)[9] and another where she "rode" on a router that had a shape like a spaceship.[10]
