The Washington Free Beacon is an American political journalism website launched in 2012.[1][2] The website identifies as conservative. Eliana Johnson is the website's editor-in-chief.

The Free Beacon has broken stories about states using racial preferences in rationing Covid-19 drugs, exposed Columbia Law School's plans to evade the banning of consideration of race in admissions, and uncovered Yale administrators' bullying of a student, which led to personnel changes at the school.[3] The Free Beacon also reported on plagiarism accusations against Harvard President Claudine Gay, who resigned shortly thereafter. The Washington Post called Gay's resignation "a major win" for the Free Beacon, which it described as "the rare conservative media outlet that does significant reporting of its own."[4] The website's reporting on a number of senior administrators at Columbia University exchanging text messages it considers antisemitic led to the resignation of three deans.[5]
