What we do
New Media was founded in 2026 by veterans of The Free Press, VICE, The Economist, Vox, and more.
We build durable businesses around great independent journalists and creators—and help legacy media think like digital natives.
Video, strategy, production, distribution.

Subscription Businesses
Our videos helped The Free Press drive subscription revenue from ~$4m to ~$15m in 18 months.
Now we're building subscription-based outlets for legacy brands and consulting for the best creator journalists.

We develop, sell and produce creator- and reporter-centric ads and sponsorship campaigns.
