Company Profile

Company Description:

With 15 million monthly unique readers, Raw Story is the largest independent U.S. progressive news site. Born in 2004, we’re known for our fast-paced breaking news reporting on political events. Current focus areas include Trump, police brutality, the intersection of religion and politics, and the Black Lives Matter movement. The backbone of our coverage exposes hypocrisy and injustice. Recently, we’ve produced original reports on the alt-right and underreported controversies of the Trump Administration. We also produce content in partnership with Pulitzer Prize-winner David Cay Johnston’s DC Report.

Raw Story CEO John Byrne is an investor in The Plug, and the founder of Prevention 305, a Florida nonprofit linking Latinx immigrants to PrEP. Raw Story Publisher Roxanne Cooper sits on the Board of the Association of Alternative Newsmedia and is a veteran of LA Weekly, AlterNet, and Stars & Stripes.
