JUST IN: Mediaite Launches New Vertical to Cover Media and Politics in the UK

Major news: Mediaite announced on Thursday the official launch of a new vertical dedicated to covering the intersection of media and politics for a British and international audience.

Since launching more than a decade ago, Mediaite has grown into one of the top sites covering the media industry in the United States, boasting traffic of 80 million monthly pageviews. Now, we’re expanding globally.

Mediaite UK will cover the major personalities behind the news — those staffing the top news networks in Britain like BBC and Sky News, the fledgling partisan channels like GB News and TalkTV, and the raucous tabloid ecosystem. You can expect sharp coverage and commentary on breaking news, on-air moments, and reporting peeling back the curtain on the media industry. We will keep an eye across the Channel for major media and politics news coming out of Europe as well.

We’ve hired David Gilmour, an experienced reporter who has covered media, tech, and politics for Vice News and The Daily Dot, to lead the new site. Gilmour is based in Belfast, Ireland.

Please extend a warm welcome to David and check out the new site here!
