In addition, he has reported for the British Daily Mail, London Sunday Times, and the Canadian Globe and Mail.

Kalman was appointed editor in chief of The Jerusalem Report in January 2012. and held the position until August 2012, resigning when asked to "implement a 10 per cent budget cut demanded by the management."
