In today’s media landscape, versatility isn’t optional—it’s essential. Just ask Jacki Karsh. With a passion for storytelling, the multimedia journalist has built a multi-dimensional career that bridges traditional reporting, legal analysis, and digital media. Her path—from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism to on-the-ground breaking news coverage—reflects her commitment to staying curious.
Over the years, Karsh has earned six Emmy nominations for her work, built a strong presence across broadcast and social platforms, and carved out a distinctive voice in both mainstream and independent journalism. Whether she's unpacking the complexities of a legal case or producing compelling content that both educates and informs, Karsh has become a go-to resource for news—including the thought-provoking piece “Editorial Bias: Campus Newspapers Must Stop Marginalizing Jews” that she wrote for the Jewish Journal.
Here, she opens up about the journey that led her to journalism and the growing responsibility journalists face in a post–October 7 world.
