Healthcare Dive
U.S. center, pro-business (B2B trade press)
Background
Healthcare Dive launched in 2013 as one of the vertical publications under Industry Dive, a Washington, D.C.-based B2B digital media company co-founded in 2012 by Sean Griffey, Eli Dickinson, and Ryan Willumson. Industry Dive bootstrapped its early growth, building a portfolio of trade titles across numerous sectors. In 2019, Charlotte-based private equity firm Falfurrias Capital Partners acquired a majority stake, fueling further expansion through acquisitions. In July 2022, British events-and-publishing giant Informa PLC announced the acquisition of Industry Dive for approximately £323 million (up to $525 million), completing the deal in September 2022 and folding Industry Dive into its Informa Tech division. Healthcare Dive now sits within a portfolio of roughly 27 Industry Dive brands reaching an audience of about 13 million business readers. Media Bias/Fact Check rates it as minimally biased and highly factual, noting its content is pro-business but avoids strong partisan editorializing and does not publish op-eds. The outlet has faced no notable public fact-check failures or editorial controversies. Its revenue model relies on digital advertising and sponsored content rather than subscriptions, keeping the editorial focus on the needs of healthcare industry professionals.
