Politico (stylized in all caps), known originally as The Politico, is an American political digital newspaper company founded by American banker and media executive Robert Allbritton in 2007.[4] It covers politics and policy in the United States and internationally, with publications dedicated to politics in the U.S., European Union, United Kingdom, and Canada, among others. Primarily providing distributed news, analysis and opinion online, it also produces printed newspapers, radio, and podcasts. Its coverage focuses on topics such as the federal government, lobbying and the media.[5]
In 2021, Politico was acquired for reportedly over US$1 billion by Axel Springer SE, a German news publisher and media company that owns a rich portfolio of news outlets in 40 countries and has been stitching together a global network of digital news operations..[6]
