Karan is The Narwhal’s audience engagement editor, with a focus on the intersections of journalism and community-building. A recent graduate from UBC’s Master of Journalism program, Karan worked at 5X Press as an associate editor expanding the reach of the publication’s newsletter — something he is a nerd about — and was the audience engagement intern at Xtra Magazine in 2021.
