Staff

The editorial staff is led by executive editor Meg Mulligan and features reporting from White House correspondent Jon Ward, formerly of The Washington Times and Alex Pappas. The site also features a humorous blog written by Jim Treacher and a second, news-centered blog Eye Street run by Mike Riggs, formerly of the Washington City Paper. Moira Bagel edits the opinion section.

Ideology

In an interview with Politico, Carlson said that The Daily Caller will not be tied to ideology but rather will be "breaking stories of importance". In a Washington Post article, Carlson added "We're not enforcing any kind of ideological orthodoxy on anyone."

Opinion contributors have included Arianna Huffington, Newt Gingrich, Andrew Breitbart and S.E. Cupp.
