Bringing objectivity back in the traditional understanding of it is our goal.

And I think that's a goal that the whole media should get behind it and just be a conservative thing.

This is the Daily Signal Podcast for Thursday, June 22. I'm Rob Bluey.

And those were the words of Ryan Wolfe. He got his start in journalism as a student at Wake Forest University.

And is now leading the Fund for American Studies' new Center for Excellence in Journalism.

With many Americans lacking trust in traditional media outlets, the Fund for American Studies is training the next generation of journalists to focus on honest reporting and pursuing the truth, rather than advancing a political agenda.

It's a big task and it's one that Ryan Wolfe has eager to confront. On today's show, we talk about the problem and the solutions, plus his firsthand experience as a conservative student journalist.

Stay tuned for today's interview after this.

As conservatives, sometimes it feels like we're constantly on defense against bad ideas.

Bad philosophy, revisionist history, junk science, and divisive politics.

But here's something I've come to understand. When faced with bad ideas, it's not enough to just defend.

If we want to save this country, then it's time to go on offense.

Conservative principles are ideas that work. Individual responsibility, strong local communities, and belief in the American dream.

As a former college professor and current president of the Heritage Foundation, my life's mission is to learn, educate, and take action.

My podcast, The Kevin Roberts Show, is my opportunity to share that journey with you.

I'll be diving into the critical issues that plague our nation, having deep conversations with high profile guests, some of whom may surprise you.

And I want to ensure freedom for the next generation. Find the Kevin Roberts Show, wherever you get your podcasts.

We're joined in studio at the Daily Signal today by Ryan Wolfe, director of the newly established Center for Excellence in Journalism at the Fund for American Studies.

Ryan, welcome to the show. Thanks for having me.

Well, it's always great to welcome our friends from the Fund for American Studies, but I'm especially looking forward to our conversation today about the Center that you're leading.

In the interest of full disclosure, I've served on the Board of Visitors for the Funds Journalism and Communications Program for many years.

So it's a great honor to be part of your organization. We've had Roger Reame on this podcast in the past.
