The website focuses on politics and the media.[3]The New York Times has described the site as "a blog that chronicles the gossipy media world",[5] andThe Washington Post describes it as focusing on "the intersection of media and politics".[6]
In June 2019, Mediaite, along with sister siteLaw & Crime, left-leaningRaw Story andAlterNet, and conservative sitesThe Daily Caller andWashington Free Beacon, formed a coalition of political news sites to offer marketers advertising packages aimed at readers interested in politics. The alliance aims to attract ad revenue toward "midsized political publishers" as opposed to larger technology companies, such as Facebook and Google.[11]
Every December, Mediaite publishes an annual list of the 75 most influential people in news media.[12][13][14][15]
