A Conservative Journalist’s Journey from Harvard to The Boston Globe with Carine Hajjar

What is it like to be a young conservative journalist today? To kick off Liberty + Leadership’s third season, Roger is joined by Carine Hajjar, Rago '22, opinion and editorial writer at The Boston Globe, to explore her journalism journey, the challenges she's overcome, and the valuable insights she's gained. From her formative years at The Harvard Crimson’s editorial board to her impactful role as the 2022 Joseph Rago Memorial Fellow at The Wall Street Journal – a nine-month internship awarded by TFAS and The Journal – Carine shares how her unwavering dedication to free speech and responsible journalism has shaped her career. 

Carine is an opinion and editorial writer at The Boston Globe with a broad range of expertise spanning from national security to national elections. Previously, she worked at National Review covering higher education and the Vienna nuclear negotiations with Iran. During her time as a Joseph Rago Fellow at The Wall Street Journal, she worked in the Opinion section. To learn more about TFAS and the Rago Fellowship, visit TFAS.org/Rago.
