Tucker Carlson’s The Daily Caller Launches

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Daily Caller is pleased to announce the launch of DailyCaller.com.

“This is primarily a news site. We see our core job as straightforward: Find out what’s happening and tell you about it. We plan to be accurate, both in the facts we assert and in the conclusions we imply”

Founded by Tucker Carlson, a 20-year veteran journalist and Fox News contributor, and Neil Patel, former chief policy advisor to Vice President Cheney, The Daily Caller is a 24-hour news publication providing its audience with original reporting, thought-provoking commentary, and breaking news.

With a staff of experienced journalists from a wide range of publications, The Daily Caller reports accurate news under the helm of Executive Editor Megan Mulligan, Editor in Chief Carlson and Publisher/CEO Patel. The opinion section, edited by Moira Bagley, offers commentary from well-known political contributors as well as up-and-coming voices from across the political spectrum. Launch week contributors include Arianna Huffington, Andrew Breitbart, S.E. Cupp, and current and former governors and Members of Congress.

“This is primarily a news site. We see our core job as straightforward: Find out what’s happening and tell you about it. We plan to be accurate, both in the facts we assert and in the conclusions we imply,” says Carlson.

The Daily Caller features an innovative freelance payment structure that rewards writers with both an initial payment and a portion of ad revenue generated by their stories.

“We believe strongly in incentives. Our business model incentivizes reporters to write interesting pieces and to publicize those pieces, and therefore, our site,” says Patel. “We’re pleased to announce that we’re launching with leading advertisers: Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, Broadband for America, National Mining Association, Southern Company, and U. S. Chamber of Commerce.”
