Politics Daily was an American political journalism web site launched by AOL News in April 2009.[1] It described itself as a "political news magazine for the general reader."[2] Melinda Henneberger, a former Newsweek and New York Times reporter,[1] was Editor in Chief.[2] Carl M. Cannon was the Executive Editor and senior Washington correspondent. Former Baltimore Sun reporter David Wood was chief military correspondent. Politics Daily columnist Jill Lawrence was a national political correspondent for USA Today. Washington Post columnist Donna Britt and Chicago Sun-Times reporter Lynn Sweet wrote for the web site.[3] Bucking the general trend of layoffs in the media industry due to declining advertising revenue in the late-2000s recession, Politics Daily had hired 22 professional writers and journalists by the end of April 2009,[4] with some reportedly earning salaries over US$100,000 annually.[1]
On March 10, 2011, Melinda Henneberger and other top Politics Daily staffers were among 200 editorial employees laid off at AOL.[5] It was later merged into The Huffington Post's Politics section.
