Journalism Disclosure From Emily
UnHerd is my primary employer. My two other major sources of income are Breaking Points and the National Journalism Center. Throughout each year, I receive occasional freelance income and speaking fees from groups that have recently included: Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women, Young America's Foundation, GOPAC, and Alliance Defending Freedom. NJC is a project of Young America's Foundation, which publishes financial disclosures here.With the exception of NJC, all the affiliations listed above are unpaid positions. I do not receive editorial oversight or guidance from any of the affiliated groups, groups that hire me for speaking engagements, or private donors, nor would I entertain it if I did.I’m Christian and my politics are generally conservative. All journalists are biased—my belief is that we should be transparent about it.
