Īccording to Shachtman, The Daily Beast's social media policy for journalists consists (as of 2018) of three main rules: "you're reporters, not cheerleaders" so don't be an open partisan avoid hate speech and posts that could offend a group and "don't get your fellow reporters in trouble". Later in 2018, editor-in-chief Noah Shachtman characterized The Daily Beast as a "high-end tabloid" that embraces gonzo journalism. As I see it, they do a few things well: They bang the phones, they don't always follow the same story everyone else is doing, and they are fast." The Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple stated in 2018 that "Pound for pound, is an impressive operation. Specifically, reporters Asawin Suebsaeng (formerly of Mother Jones) and Lachlan Markay (formerly of The Heritage Foundation) were tasked with covering the Trump Administration. In an April 2018 interview, Avlon described the publication's political stance as "non-partisan but not neutral": "what that means is we're going to hit both sides where appropriate, but we're not going for mythic moral equivalence on every issue." In April 2017, Avlon discussed the organization's approach on the Poynter Institute's podcast saying, "We're not going to toe any partisan line." In December 2017, NPR reported that The Daily Beast 's editor-in-chief John Avlon had begun pairing reporters from both the right and left sides of the political spectrum to cover White House stories. In July 2021, Shachtman announced that he'd be moving from the Beast to Rolling Stone and that he will be succeeded by Tracy Connor. In May 2017, Heather Dietrick was appointed president and publisher. In March 2017 former chief strategy and product officer Mike Dyer left for Intel. Avlon was succeeded by executive editor Noah Shachtman. In May 2018 Avlon departed from the Beast to become full-time Senior Political Analyst and anchor at CNN. In September 2014, The Daily Beast reached a new record of 21 million unique visitors – a 60% year-over-year increase in readers, accompanied by a 300% increase in the overall size of its social media community.
John Avlon, an American journalist and political commentator as well as a CNN contributor, was the site's editor-in-chief and managing director from 2013 to 2018. Brown stepped down as editor in September 2013. The merger ended in 2013, when Daily Beast owner IAC sold Newsweek to IBT Media, owner of the International Business Times.
In 2010, The Daily Beast merged with the magazine Newsweek creating a combined company, The Newsweek Daily Beast Company. The name of the site was taken from a fictional newspaper in Evelyn Waugh's novel Scoop. Its founding editor was Tina Brown, a former editor of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker as well as the short-lived Talk magazine. The Daily Beast began publishing on October 6, 2008.
