Mediaite launches Mediaite UK
October 6, 2023
Mediaite, the digital news outlet covering the intersection of media and politics, has announced the launch of a new vertical dedicated to reporting and opinion on the media industry in the UK. The new site builds on Mediaite’s growing audience of 80 million monthly visitors and expands its presence on social platforms to deliver robust reporting to a new, global audience.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. Readers can expect coverage of all the breaking news moments, behind-the-scenes business decisions and scandals in between.“In the same way Fleet Street, with The Sun and The Daily Mail, has sought to conquer the American media landscape by opening up U.S. shops, Mediaite intends to bring our cutthroat coverage of the media industry across the pond,” says Mediaite Editor-in-Chief Aidan McLaughlin.Mediaite has hired David Gilmour to lead the new site and keep an eye on major news coming out of the media industry in Europe. Gilmour is an experienced reporter who has covered media, tech and politics for Vice News and The Daily Dot, and is based in Belfast, Ireland.
