About Talking Points Memo (TPM):

Talking Points Memo is the flagship blog of TPM Media LLC, which also publishes TPMmuckraker, TPMDC, TPMtv and TPMCafe. Founder and editor Josh Marshall began publishing Talking Points Memo during the 2000 Florida vote recount. The site specializes in original reporting on government and politics and offers breaking news coverage, investigative reporting, high profile guest bloggers and a book club.

Talking Points Memo is one of the most innovative political news organizations in the country. Media watchers consider TPM the site to watch as the news business transforms from the old world of print to the online digital future. In March 2009 TPM topped TIME Magazine’s list of 25 Best Blogs of 2009. “Talking Points,” wrote Time’s editors, “has become the prototype of what a successful Web-based news organization is likely to be in the future.” And in September of 2009 The Atlantic listed founder Josh Marshall among the nation’s 50 most influential commentators.

Its combination of breaking news, investigative reporting and smart analysis have made it a must-read for DC insiders, the media who cover them and politically engaged people everywhere.

TPM has won numerous awards including the 2007 George Polk Award and the International Press Institute’s “Free Media Pioneer 2008.”

TPM Media is headquartered in New York City and has a bureau in Washington, DC.
