About Us

Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel cofounded the Daily Caller News Foundation for two primary reasons. First, to train, mentor and launch the next generation of reporters, all the while providing full-time salary and benefits. We nurture a group of journalists committed to the guiding principles of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and pledged to produce trustworthy news reporting. Second, to investigate and tell stories that are overlooked or intentionally ignored due to media bias. Then we push those stories through our licensed media network partners to reach millions of Americans.

We strive to be the most innovative, successful, results-driven training ground for up-and-coming journalists in America through our flagship program, the American Journalism Institute. We are also one of the most impactful news organizations in the world. We are the go-to newswire service for conservative media outlets wishing to publish the national news. Our goal is to prompt policy changes for the better, hold public officials accountable and educate the public on relevant issues with facts, not opinions.

All content created by The Daily Caller News Foundation is available without charge to any eligible news publisher that can provide a large audience. For licensing opportunities of our original content, please contact Michael Bastasch.
