The Dispatch was founded in 2019 by Jonah Goldberg, Steve Hayes, and David French as an independent outlet committed to fact-based journalism and policy analysis. It emerged as one of the most substantive voices in conservative media — willing to be critical of both parties and resistant to the tribal dynamics that shape most political commentary.
What to Expect
Daily and weekly newsletters covering politics, foreign policy, culture, and economics. The flagship Dispatch AM is a daily briefing; The Weekly Standard-style longer reads appear on weekends. Contributors include former editors of major publications and a team of experienced policy reporters.
Who It’s For
Readers who want serious political coverage that doesn’t treat them as tribal warriors. Particularly appealing if you’re centre-right and frustrated with how most conservative media operates, or if you’re looking for a good-faith outlet from that side of the spectrum.
