Mediaite’s ‘Most Influential in News Media’ Party Brings Out Biggest Names in News (PHOTOS)

Mediaite celebrated our Most Influential in News Media list with a big bash Thursday night at Freds at Barneys. Our list ranked the top names in news media, and the party gathered the anchors, pundits, reporters, editors, publicists, executives and everyone in between that made the news in 2018.

The attendees of the party represented the top properties in media: Diane Sawyer, Megyn Kelly, George Stephanopoulos, CNN’s Jeff Zucker, Jim Acosta, Don Lemon, SE Cupp, John Berman, Alisyn Camerota, Brooke Baldwin, Margaret Hoover, John Avlon, Fox News’s Sean Hannity, Brian Kilmeade, Ed Henry, Melissa Francis, Bill Hemmer, Andrew Napolitano, MSNBC’s Ari Melber, Douglas Brunt,  Brian Ross, Dan Abrams, Preet Bharara, Ann Coulter, Pat Kiernan, Jay Sures, Evan Siegfried, Kristin Tate, and many others including the very jovial staff of Mediaite.

The cocktails flowed and our list was debated! Check out pictures from the event below:
