Recount Media is a fast-growing news start-up covering politics, business, technology, and culture. Founded in 2019 by media industry veterans and longtime collaborators John Battelle and John Heilemann, the company was created to reinvent video journalism for the platforms reshaping the news business: digital, mobile, social, and streaming. The Recount cuts through the noise and stale narratives of so much broadcast and cable coverage, never wasting our audience’s time or insulting their intelligence, and drives true dialogue instead of mindless division—all the while maintaining the highest traditional editorial standards. Starting out with a focus on politics, The Recount has firmly established itself as a wide-reaching and influential news brand on Twitter and other social sites, as well as launching a suite of successful podcasts. Now we're training our sights on the corridors of power from Silicon Valley to Wall Street to Hollywood and beyond, while expanding aggressively into streaming and other new formats.
