Editor and Author
Karolis is the editor of the NARA podcast, a journalist, and a lecturer at Vilnius University. He is a graduate of New York University’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, where he studied on a Fulbright Scholarship. Karolis has previously worked on interview shows on LRT radijas and Žinių radijas, and published articles in Deutsche Welle, Nieman Reports, The Wall Street Journal, OpenDemocracy and many different outlets. As a journalist, he has covered stories from different regions in the U.S., Israel-Palestine and different European capitals. Among his interviewees have been filmmakers Jonas Mekas and Sean Baker, anthropologist and Harvard lecturer Ieva Jusionytė, painter and Holocaust survivor Samuel Bak. Karolis' areas of interest are alternative culture, social movements and the growth of nationalism.
“I am interested in sound as a form of storytelling. My goal as a journalist is to create worlds of sound in the listeners' ears and to improve my interviewing technique to such a degree that the listeners feel that I represent them in the conversation, rather than myself,” says Karolis.
