In 1979, Krauthammer joined The New Republic as both a writer and editor.
In 1983, he began writing essays for Time magazine, including one on the Reagan Doctrine, which first brought him national acclaim as a writer.
Krauthammer began writing regular editorials for The Washington Post in 1985 and became a nationally syndicated columnist.
Krauthammer coined and developed the term Reagan Doctrine in 1985, and he defined the U.S. role as sole superpower in his essay "The Unipolar Moment", published shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

In 1990, Krauthammer became a panelist for the weekly PBS political roundtable Inside Washington, remaining with the show until it ceased production in December 2013.
Krauthammer also appeared on Fox News Channel as a contributor for many years.

Krauthammer's 2004 speech "Democratic Realism", which was delivered to the American Enterprise Institute when Krauthammer won the Irving Kristol Award, set out a framework for tackling the post-9/11 world, focusing on the promotion of democracy in the Middle East.

In 2013, Krauthammer published Things That Matter: Three Decades of Passions, Pastimes and Politics.
An immediate bestseller, the book remained on The New York Times bestseller list for 38 weeks and spent 10 weeks in a row at number one.

His son Daniel is responsible for the final edits on a book that was posthumously released, The Point of It All:  A Lifetime of Great Loves and Endeavors, that was published in December 2018.
