About Us

The Daily Caller News Foundation is a nonprofit news organization dedicated to training the next generation of journalists and producing original reporting on issues of national importance.

Our mission is twofold: to provide aspiring journalists with professional training, mentorship, and career opportunities, and to deliver fact-based reporting that informs the public and holds institutions accountable.

Through our American Journalism Institute and newsroom operations, we support reporters committed to rigorous journalism, investigative reporting, and coverage of stories that are often overlooked by larger media organizations. Our reporting reaches millions of Americans through a broad network of publishing partners across the country.

We strive to be one of the nation’s leading training grounds for emerging journalists while producing impactful reporting that contributes to informed public debate. Our goal is to educate readers with factual reporting and provide trustworthy journalism that serves the public interest.

All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation is available without charge to eligible news publishers that can provide a large audience. For licensing opportunities, please contact Thomas Phippen.
