The Karol Markowicz Show: Career, Family & Media Battles: Eliana Johnson on Journalism, Campus Culture and Community

On this episode, Karol Markowicz sits down with Eliana Johnson, Editor-in-Chief of the Washington Free Beacon and regular contributor to the Commentary Magazine podcast, for a wide-ranging conversation on journalism, politics, family, and the cultural challenges shaping America today. Eliana shares how an unexpected path led her from challenging professors at Yale and navigating liberal institutions to becoming one of the most recognizable voices in conservative media. She discusses her time in mainstream journalism, the evolution of political reporting beyond Washington, and why uncovering underreported stories on college campuses became a major focus for the Washington Free Beacon. The conversation also explores balancing career success with marriage and family life, the importance of community and faith, concerns about social isolation and cultural division, and why reading real books may be one of the simplest ways to improve your life in a screen-dominated world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
