Jacki Karsh is an award-winning, six-time Emmy-nominated journalist. Over a decade of reporting taught her how dangerously misinformed newsrooms shape public opinion. So she founded the Karsh Journalism Fellowship, the world's only fellowship devoted to educating journalists on Jewish life, antisemitism, and Israel. Its fellows – journalists from the leading newsrooms across America – study everything from Jewish history to Middle East politics, empowering them to practice disciplined reporting on these subjects.
Each fellow publishes an original report informed by their learning, mentored by seasoned journalists from The New York Times, CNN, The Atlantic, and more. Since October 7, Karsh has also led hundreds of conversations across the US on media bias affecting Jews and Israel, and helped shape California legislation on antisemitism in schools. She regularly writes for outlets including The Times of Israel, The Hill, and JNS. Her belief is simple: Truth is the first defense against antisemitism. She is building the infrastructure to deliver it.
