In 2010, The Daily Beast merged with the magazine Newsweek creating a combined company, The Newsweek Daily Beast Company. The name of the site was taken from a fictional newspaper in Evelyn Waugh's novel Scoop. Its founding editor was Tina Brown, a former editor of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker as well as the short-lived Talk magazine. The Daily Beast began publishing on October 6, 2008. As of 2022, the Daily Beast has more than a million website visitors per day. In a 2015 interview, former editor-in-chief John Avlon described the Beast 's editorial approach: "We seek out scoops, scandals, and stories about secret worlds we love confronting bullies, bigots, and hypocrites." In 2018, Avlon described the Beast 's "strike zone" as "politics, pop culture, and power". It has been characterized as a "high-end tabloid" by Noah Shachtman, the site's editor-in-chief from 2018 to 2021. Founded in 2008, the website is owned by IAC Inc. The Daily Beast is an American news website focused on politics, media, and pop culture.
