Healthcare Dive
U.S. trade press (industry-focused, center)
Background
Healthcare Dive is one of the "Dive" brands published by Industry Dive, a Washington, D.C.-based company founded in 2012 by Sean Griffey, Eli Dickinson and Ryan Willumson. Sources differ on whether Healthcare Dive launched in 2012 or 2013. Industry Dive grew into a network of about 27 trade publications, each with its own daily newsletter, covering sectors such as healthcare, biopharma, medtech and cybersecurity. Falfurrias Capital Partners took a majority stake in 2019. Informa bought the company for about $389 million in cash, completing the deal on September 1, 2022. It runs as a standalone business within Informa Tech. The publication covers hospitals, payers, health IT, policy and finance for an audience of industry professionals. Its articles are typically short, news-driven pieces built around company announcements, regulatory filings and earnings. It does not have a notable record of partisan editorializing. Its main structural bias is toward the commercial concerns of the industry it covers and the companies that sponsor it. Media Bias/Fact Check has a rating page for it, which I did not review in detail.
