National Review senior editor Jonah Goldberg and former The Weekly Standard editor-in-chief Steve Hayes are joining together to launch a new conservative media company, Axios reported on Thursday morning.
Goldberg and Hayes are currently seeking investors for the company,which will start a newsletter this summer and debut its website in September. The still-unnamed venture will be “Trump-skeptical,” according to Axios, and emphasize reporting-driven content.
“We believe there’s a great appetite on the center-right for an independent conservative media company that resists partisan boosterism and combines a focus on old-school reporting with interesting and provocative commentary and analysis,” Hayes told Axios.
