## About

In Washington's media ecosystem, the Washington Examiner occupies a specific niche that its larger competitors cannot: it covers the federal government from an explicitly conservative perspective, for an audience that works in or around it. Founded as a free daily newspaper in 2005, reinvented as a weekly magazine in 2013, and relaunched as a digital-first operation in 2019, it has pivoted formats without losing its Beltway identity. Rated Right by both MBFC and AllSides, it is most useful as a window into how conservative policy arguments are packaged for the professional class that shapes them.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** Clarity Media Group, a subsidiary of Philip Anschutz's Anschutz Corporation
- **Funding:** Advertising revenue; digital subscriptions
- **Focus areas:** U.S. federal politics, Congress, regulatory policy, immigration, fiscal conservatism, national security, DC-area politics


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
