Jonathan Kay (born 1968) is a Canadian journalist from Canada. He was editor-in chief for The Walrus (2014-2017) and currently is the editor-in-chief of Quillette. He was formerly a comment page editor and columnist and blogger for Toronto-based Canadian daily newspaper, the National Post, and continues to contribute to the newspaper on a contract basis. In addition, he’s a book writer and editor as well as a public speaker and is a regular contributor to Commentary as well as The New York Post.

He resigned as editor-in-chief of The Walrus on May 13, 2017, following a controversy around cultural appropriation in which Kay argued that concerns by Indigenous writers about the practice should be balanced against the right to free artistic representation. Kay said the reason he left was because of conflicts between his role as a manager at a respected media brand and as a columnist and media panelist in which he would state controversial opinions and that he had felt the need to self-censor his byline pieces and commentary outside of The Walrus. “In recent months especially, I have been censoring myself more and more, and my colleagues have sometimes been rightly upset by disruptions caused by my media appearances. Something had to give, and I decided to make the first move. I took no severance,” he said in an email written to The Globe and Mail. Kay added that there had been no conflict between himself and the publisher of The Walrus and that he had been given a free hand to edit the magazine and its website and that the pressure he had felt to self-censor was in relation to his non-Walrus work.
