Episode Synopsis

Polarization isn't just dividing dinner tables anymore — it's turning deadly in the wake of the Charlie Kirk tragedy and now the ICE office shooting in Dallas. The role and responsibility of opinion journalism has never been more scrutinized. That's why we turned to Nicole Russell, one of USA Today's leading conservative voices, who has spent more than a decade writing on politics, culture, and policy. She has also written for The Washington Examiner and The Federalist, consistently offering a sharp conservative perspective on some of the most hotly debated issues of our time. In our conversation, Russell opens up about how she balances tone and responsibility, the blurred line between news and opinion, the future of editorial pages, and what advice she has for local publishers navigating this polarized moment.   Access more at this episode's landing page, at: https://www.editorandpublisher.com/stories/nicole-russell-usa-todays-conservative-voice-on-why-opinion-journalism-still-matters,257962
