Outlet track record
Punchbowl News
U.S. centrist, Washington insider (Congress-focused)
Punchbowl News is a privately held Washington outlet run by its three founders, former Politico reporters. It is an insider, process-focused publication about Congress, with no clear partisan orientation. Its recent coverage reports on Trump's conflicts with Republican lawmakers, appropriators' complaints and his midterm remarks, but it does so mostly in a straight-news, power-and-process style rather than an openly critical or supportive one.
Owned byPrivately owned by its founders and investors through AJ Press, LLC. The founders are CEO Anna Palmer, Jake Sherman and John Bresnahan, all former Politico journalists. Early outside investment came from Aryeh Bourkoff's Kindred Media.
