Outlet track record

E&E News (Politico)

U.S. center-left

E&E News was a Washington-based specialty news outlet focused on energy and environmental policy, owned by Politico and ultimately by Germany's Axel Springer SE. It operated on a professional subscription model and leaned slightly left of center, consistently covering Trump administration rollbacks of climate and environmental rules in critical terms. In June 2026, Politico announced it was folding the E&E News brand and absorbing its journalism into Politico's main energy and environment coverage.
