Background

24/7 Wall St. was founded in 2006 by Douglas A. McIntyre and partners as an independent financial news and commentary site. The company says it struggled financially through its early years, and Cathie Wood, later head of Ark Invest, joined as an owner around 2014. It grew largely through syndication, and its articles appear on portals such as Yahoo Finance, MSN, USA Today, and AOL. In September 2023 it announced it had been acquired by Flywheel Publishing, saying it needed to join a larger publishing organization to grow. Its output is heavy on data-driven rankings and listicles (for example, best and worst states, cities, and companies) as well as stock-focused commentary, a format that critics sometimes associate with search-optimized content. Media Bias/Fact Check rates it 'Least Biased' with 'High' factual reporting, though that is one third-party assessment and not a verdict. Political content is limited, and its stance toward the administration comes mostly through coverage of economic and trade policy, which is generally presented in a market-focused, descriptive way. I could not confirm details of the Flywheel deal terms or Wood's stake from independent reporting, so those points rest on the company's own statements and secondary sources.
