A MESSAGE FROM THE NEW EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

I’ve got some news to share: I’ve been promoted to editor-in-chief of the Daily Caller.

I’m incredibly proud and excited to take on this new role. I also take it very seriously because the work we are doing here matters.

The Daily Caller has always been “home.” I’ve spent a large part of my journalism career here. I left for five years and then came back because this is such a unique, special place. It’s where I learned what real reporting looks like — fast, aggressive, and totally fearless.

A few things have always struck me about the Caller, and they’re the same reasons I’m so optimistic for the future we’re building.

First: We are a young, nimble newsroom that punches way above our weight. While legacy outlets have thousands of employees and 52-story buildings, we have grit and pluck. People come to work here because they believe in this place and what it represents.

Second: We operate as a true meritocracy. Experience matters, but seniority isn’t a shield. We hire promising talent regardless of their education level. Hard work is rewarded. Promotions are given to those who earn them. If you aren’t performing, you don’t get to hide behind credentials or office politics.

This is the way businesses used to run before DEI and HR checklists took hold of corporate America. As an independent media company, we’re blessed to be able to operate on common sense principles instead of bureaucratic mandates.

Third: Our mission is simple and it’s why readers keep coming back. We aim to be a voice for forgotten America. Our goal is to deliver the news that matters to regular people. We’re not trying to impress the White House press corps, pad our resumes, or chase down whatever story coastal elites have decided is important on any given day. Every briefing room question, every headline, every coverage decision should reflect our desire to represent everyday Americans.

If you’ve been reading this newsletter for a while, you probably already have a sense of how I operate. But I want to be clear about what my promotion means for you.

We’re going to double down on original reporting and commentary — especially the kind that makes entrenched D.C. elites uncomfortable. We’re going to push boundaries. We’re going to be skeptical of official narratives, regardless of who is in power. We’re going to experiment with new formats and new types of content to broaden our reach. And most importantly: we’re going to tell the truth the best we can, even when it’s inconvenient.

As for Unfit to Print: you’ll keep getting the unvarnished version. I’m going to continue covering the stories the rest of the media ignores — and I’m going to pull back the curtain a little more often on how we’re thinking about the biggest stories in front of us.

Which brings us to the “conflict” with Iran.
