'Politico' Is Booming While News Industry Struggles

Politico, which didn't even exist two years ago, plans to expand its print publication, beef up White House and congressional coverage, and increase staffing. The post-election expansion is designed to help the print and online news outlet position itself as a major political news source for daily newspapers.

Just before the political conventions, Politico launched a content-sharing network and has signed up the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Philadelphia Inquirer and some smaller papers.

Next year, Politico will increase print publication from three to four days while Congress is in session, boost circulation from about 27,000 to 32,000, and expand its staff from 85 to more than 100.
