American writer and researcher Nina Jankowicz. She is the author of two books: How to Be a Woman Online (2022), which provides advice on preventing online abuse of women, and How to Lose the Information War (2020), which examines how Russia uses misinformation as a geopolitical tactic. She was appointed executive director of the newly established Disinformation Governance Board of the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for a brief period of time before leaving the role in May 2022 as the DHS dissolved the board.

Jankowicz, who double majored in political science and Russian, attended Herzen State Pedagogical University in Russia for a semester in 2010 before earning his degree from Bryn Mawr College in 2011. As a Fulbright fellow in 2017, she worked at the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry in Kyiv. She has also worked for the Woodrow Wilson Center as a disinformation fellow and for the National Democratic Institute as the supervisor of the Russia and Belarus projects.


2023

Jankowicz was chosen to lead the US Department of Homeland Security’s recently established Disinformation Governance Board in April 2022. Republicans in Congress and right-wing internet users criticized the decision, claiming Democrats would utilize the Board as a means of limiting free expression. Her critique of the Hunter Biden laptop tale was harshly criticized by National Review, the Washington Examiner, and the libertarian journal Reason. Her endorsement of Christopher Steele in August 2020 was also praised. In 2023, Jankowicz would subsequently state: “I never said the laptop was phony. I didn’t pursue the Steele dossier at all. I believe that if individuals go back and read the real tweets, they will see that those statements were taken out of context and that I never, ever stated them.”

Jankowicz filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News in May 2023, claiming that the network’s “verifiable falsehoods” about her and her involvement with the DHS had harmed her reputation and provoked harassment and threats of murder. Jankowicz claims that her security consultant told her to leave her house for her own protection while she was eight months pregnant.
