In October, we here at the Townhall Media family bade farewell to Katie Pavlich, who had been part of the family for over a decade and a half. It was bittersweet to lose such a dedicated writer and solid conservative, but we all knew that she was destined for even more exciting things.
After 16 wonderful years, I am taking a step back from my role as Editor of @townhallcom.
I am deeply grateful to the dedicated Townhall team for many years of accomplishment and extraordinary news coverage. Thank you to our dedicated readers for their support. The outlet is in…

For Katie Pavlich, leaving Fox News after more than a decade was actually “not complicated.”
“There was a new opportunity, and so I decided to take it,” she told TheWrap of her decision to join upstart cable network NewsNation, where she’ll launch her own 10 p.m. opinion show, “Katie Pavlich Tonight,” on Jan. 19.
I’ve turned to NewsNation often when I’m watching breaking news unfold. It has a good balance of perspectives, and there’s less bluster than on Fox News. And since the network is giving Katie a show, you know it has good taste.
You’d better believe that Katie is going to kick off the first week of her new show with a bang:
Honored to sit down with President Donald Trump at the White House Tuesday to mark one year since his second inauguration. The interview will air on Katie Pavlich Tonight, 10 pm ET on @NewsNation. What questions do you have? Drop them below! 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/IHat02UtBg

I don’t watch much news during prime time, but I’ll tune in for that interview for sure. Katie is working to bring other Trump administration folks on, so viewers will get to hear what’s going on straight from the sources.
“Pavlich said she wouldn’t shy away from acknowledging her conservative background — ‘I’ve always been who I am’ — but she believes that such transparency ‘is just a very honest way of working with an audience’ who may share similar beliefs,” The Wrap reports.
That’s refreshing, especially since Katie promises to bring on various perspectives and is willing to have conversations with those with whom she disagrees. Too many of today’s news and debate programs are about argument rather than dialogue, so hopefully, Katie can bring more civil debate to the table.
This is big news for conservative media. A Townhall Media alumna getting her own show on an upstart news network is a huge deal. And NewsNation is getting a terrific host in Katie.
Congratulations, Katie! I’ll toast to the success of your new show.
