The Beast (newspaper) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

The Daily Beast was a newspaper in the 1938 novel Scoop

The Beast was originally a Buffalo, New York alternative biweekly newspaper which now publishes exclusively online.

The Beast was founded by Matt Taibbi, Kevin McElwee and Paul Fallon in 2002.[1] The format was originally a free biweekly newspaper, but changed in 2007 when it began to charge for issues as a national monthly publication that also offered international subscriptions.[1] In late 2009, The Beast stopped producing print editions, but now actively maintains an online presence with the tagline "The World's Only Website."[1] The Beast's longest-serving editor was Allan Uthman; it is currently edited by Ian Murphy (writer).[1][2]

An annual feature of The Beast is "The 50 Most Loathsome Americans" - a list of infamous celebrities, authors, athletes, pundits, politicians and others selected for their dubious distinction, with reasons and examples given for each entry's inclusion.[3][4][5]
