History
Mediaite was founded by
Dan Abrams in mid-2009.[5] Its writers have included
Noah Rothman, Philip Bump, Joe Concha,[6] and Tina Nguyen.[7]
In June 2019, Mediaite, along with sister site Law & Crime, left-leaning Raw Story and AlterNet, and conservative sites The Daily Caller and Washington Free Beacon, formed a coalition of political news sites to offer marketers advertising packages aimed at readers interested in politics. The Alliance aims to attract ad revenue toward "midsized political publishers" as opposed to larger technology companies, such as Facebook and Google.[9]
Every December, Mediaite publishes an annual list of the 75 most influential people in news media.[10][11][12][13]
