## Resource

In this episode of Here I Am with Shai Davidai, Shai sits down with Emmy-nominated journalist and Karsh Journalism Fellowship founder Jacki Karsh for a wide-ranging conversation about media, misinformation, and Jewish identity in a post–October 7 world. Karsh shares how moving from New York to Los Angeles reshaped her Jewish life, why she believes social media is built to drive engagement rather than truth, and what it means to be “facts-first” when public discourse is increasingly driven by binaries. They discuss the difference between misinformation and disinformation, the pressures that lead major outlets to report before verifying, and how narratives about Jews and Israel often get flattened into simplistic “good vs. bad” storytelling. Karsh explains why she launched the Karsh Journalism Fellowship: to equip journalists (Jewish and non-Jewish) with deeper context and better tools to report on Jewish life, antisemitism, and Israel with accuracy, nuance, and fairness.
