Kait Bolongaro Biography

Kait Bolongaro is an award-winning journalist based in Brussels covering European politics and policy. Bolongaro is senior editor at The Capitol Forum. Before that, she was managing editor for Europe at MLex, where she directed EU and U.K. coverage and led a team of 30 journalists across Brussels and London. She was previously Bloomberg's Canadian politics correspondent in Ottawa, covering NATO, G-7 and G-20 summits, and was a reporter at POLITICO Europe. Bolongaro has written for the BBC, The Guardian, NPR and Al Jazeera, and has interviewed prime ministers, presidents, ministers and ambassadors.

Bolongaro gave a TEDx talk, "Protect Journalists, Protect Freedom." She was a panelist on Euronews' program, "Brussels My Love," and moderates for regulators, business associations and universities. She won gold at the 2021 Best in Business Canada Awards and a silver medal from the U.N. Correspondents' Association, and was selected for Poynter's Leadership Academy for Women in Media. Bolongaro was an International Women's Media Foundation fellow in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and has twice completed hostile environment training. She holds an Erasmus Mundus master's degree in journalism, media and globalization from Aarhus and Hamburg, and works in five languages.

Kait Bolongaro Speaking Topics

Press Freedom, Democracy & Trust in the Media

Kait has twice completed hostile environment training, which prepares journalists for detention, kidnapping and gunfire. Neither course covered the way press freedom is actually being lost in Europe: legal threats designed to drain a newsroom's budget, access quietly withdrawn, and staff cuts that end investigative work before the public notices it has stopped.

Kait has reported from four continents, held a fellowship in the Democratic Republic of Congo and led a team of 30 journalists covering Europe. In this talk, also the subject of her TEDx, she explains how press freedom erodes inside functioning democracies, why audiences feel the effects before they can name them, and what a society loses when it loses reporting it took for granted.

Attendee results:

How press freedom erodes long before anyone calls it censorship What disappears from public life when investigative reporting is cut How to assess whether a news source is reliable What supporting independent journalism actually involves
European Politics & Policy

Most people encounter a European decision only when it arrives: a new rule for their industry, a change in price, a right they gain or lose. Kait has spent a decade at the other end of that process, reporting on decisions while they are still being argued over.

The Europe she covers now is not the one she started on. The political centre has weakened, insurgent parties shape the agenda without governing, and the EU legislates in areas it once left to member states.

Kait reported for POLITICO Europe and then ran a team of 30 journalists across Brussels and London as Managing Editor for Europe at MLex. In this talk she explains how European decisions are really made, who holds leverage, and why most outcomes are settled well before a vote takes place.

Attendee results:

How power moves between the Commission, Parliament and member states Where European politics is heading after a decade of realignment Which regulatory changes are likely to affect your sector, and when What the coverage of Brussels routinely misses

Populism, the Far Right & Political Communication

Newsrooms across Europe face the same problem covering the populist radical right. Attacking these parties can amplify them, ignoring them looks evasive, and covering them like any other party makes them appear ordinary. The choices editors make show up, over time, in election results.

Kait both reports on Europe's far right and researches how the press covers it, including a study of European media coverage of Vox and the Spanish elections. In this talk she sets out what the research shows about the relationship between coverage and electoral success, where journalists' assumptions about their own influence turn out to be wrong, and what responsible coverage looks like in practice.

Attendee results:

What the research shows about coverage and populist success Which framings amplify radical right messaging while intending to challenge it Why an approach that works in one country fails in another How to make defensible decisions about coverage and attention
Women In Leadership

Kait became Managing Editor for Europe at MLex with responsibility for 30 journalists in Brussels and London. She found that most of the advice she had been given about women and leadership was about wanting the job rather than doing it.

In this talk she discusses what running a European newsroom actually involved: which obstacles were structural, which she created herself, which of the standard interventions changed outcomes for the women she managed, and which made no difference at all.

Kait is an alumna of Poynter's Leadership Academy for Women in Media. She talks about what she got wrong as well as what worked, and is more interested in practical detail than encouragement.

Attendee results:

How to distinguish structural obstacles from the ones you can act on What sponsorship achieves that mentorship does not How to establish authority in rooms where you are the only woman Tactics you can use, rather than reassurance
Global Crisis, Conflict Reporting & International Affairs

In Paraguay, women die of a condition that can be detected with a blood pressure cuff. In Vietnam, children work instead of attending school. In China, a river carries the waste of a city that markets itself on its natural beauty. Kait has reported all three stories, and the pattern behind them: the crises that receive coverage are rarely the ones causing the most harm.

She has worked across four continents, including a fellowship in the Democratic Republic of Congo and coverage of NATO, G7 and G20 summits. Her reporting won gold at the Best in Business Canada Awards and a silver medal from the UN Correspondents' Association.

In this talk she explains what it takes to report these stories, what access costs, and what happens to a story after it is published.

Attendee results:

How international stories are sourced, verified and defended What determines which crises receive attention When reporting changes policy, and when it does not A current read on the global picture from a working correspondent
