Daniel McCarthy Joins Heritage Foundation as Distinguished Fellow

Jenna Lee is an intern for The Daily Signal.

Daniel McCarthy has joined The Heritage Foundation as a distinguished fellow in conservative thought within the B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies, the think tank announced on Tuesday. 

McCarthy is a widely read conservative journalist and joined Heritage from the Intercollegiate Studies Institute where he was the vice president of publications. 

McCarthy’s work will focus on “conservative thought, America’s founding, and republican order,” the press release claimed.  

“I’m thrilled and honored to join Heritage as a distinguished fellow in conservative thought,” McCarthy said in Tuesday’s press release. 

“I’m excited to be a part of Heritage’s work in strengthening our country; reinvigorating the principles of prosperity for all Americans, from the factory floor to the boardroom; and restoring respect for citizenship, the family, and the enduring virtues of our civilization,” he continued. 

Scott Yenor, director of the B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies at The Heritage Foundation, describes McCarthy as a “unicorn in conservative circles.” 

“It is a great hire for Heritage and a great get for the Simon Center. We worked hard to show Dan that Heritage and Simon would be a great place for him and now I look forward to working closely with Daniel to promote the four cornerstones,” said Yenor. 

Jay Richards, the vice president of Heritage’s social and domestic policy, welcomed McCarthy to his new position. 

“Daniel McCarthy’s thoughtful scholarship on American principles revives the timeless wisdom of conservatism, making him an invaluable addition to the Simon Center,” Richards said. “As a masterful writer and editor, Daniel distills the essence of conservative thought with clarity and depth, strengthening our mission at Heritage to defend republican order, liberty, and opportunity.” 

McCarthy was the editor of Modern Age, a conservative journal, while at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. He will continue to edit that publication, however.
