The Daily Caller is a 24-hour news site with a focus on original reporting and breaking news. Founded by 20 year news veteran Tucker Carlson and former Cheney advisor, Neil Patel, The Daily Caller launched on January 11th, 2010. Executive editor Megan Mulligan, formerly of The Guardian, heads up editorial. Moira Bagley is opinions editor. The Daily Caller also features a blog written by the well known blogger, Jim Treacher.
The Daily Caller pays freelancers both an initial payment as well as a portion of the ad revenue their article generates.
While many have dubbed The Daily Caller as a "Conservative Huffington Post", Carlson, in an interview with The Politico, insisted that The Daily Caller will not be tied to ideology instead it will be <href>"breaking stories of importance"</href>. In a Washington Post article, Carlson says <href>"We're not enforcing any kind of ideological orthodoxy on anyone."</href>
Launch week opinion contributors included Arianna Huffington, Newt Gingrich, Andrew Breitbart and S.E. Cupp.
