Politico (stylized in all caps), known originally as The Politico, is a Washington metropolitan area, U.S.-based politics-focused digital newspaper company. Founded by American banker and media executive Robert Allbritton in 2007,[4] it covers politics and policy in the United States and internationally, with publications dedicated to politics in the U.S., European Union, United Kingdom and Canada, among others. Primarily providing distributed news, analysis and opinion online, it also produces printed newspapers, radio, and podcasts. Its coverage focuses on topics such as the federal government, lobbying and the media.[5]
Ideologically, Politico's coverage has been described as centrist on American politics and Atlantist on international politics.[6][7] however as of 2024 Allsides.com rates its media bias as Leans Left.[8]
In 2021 it was acquired for reportedly over 1 billion USD by Axel Springer SE, a German news publisher and media company.[9] Axel Springer is Europe's largest newspaper publisher and had previously acquired Business Insider. Its employees have to abide by Axel Springer-wide guiding principles[clarify] but unlike employees of its German newspapers, the employees of Politico do not have to sign a written commitment to the company's principles.[10][better source needed]
