Summary
David Volodzko is an experienced journalist and editor with over 15 years of bylines in major outlets including New York Magazine, Foreign Policy, Bloomberg and Slate, and a track record of reporting and analysis on East Asia, U.S. policy, and international affairs. He combines newsroom leadership—from national editor and editorial board member roles to long-form magazine features—with on-the-ground foreign correspondence in Korea and U.S. congressional-level impact (one report cited by a congressional panel). Currently writing for the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression and serving as an analyst at the Washington Policy Center, he blends investigative instincts with policy-focused commentary. He also brings academic experience teaching rhetoric and public speaking, which sharpens his clear explanatory voice across platforms. An inquisitive polymath nicknamed “Ur-Didact” on GitHub, he pairs deep regional expertise with an appetite for interdisciplinary storytelling.
