Arlington-based political and policy-focused news organization Politico announced last week it will acquire energy and environment news organization E&E News.
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, but the purchase will add energy and environmental coverage, according to a company statement. The E&E Brand will remain intact.
“We are doubling down on our policy coverage by investing in journalism and growing our product offerings in the energy and environmental policy space, which touches all aspects of the economy and government,” Politico Publisher and Executive Chairman Robert Allbritton said in a statement.
E&E currently has more than 65 reporters and editors across the United States. Founded in 2007, Politico employs nearly 600 people in North America — with more of half being editorial staff.
