Townhall.com

Townhall.com is a web-based publication primarily dedicated to conservative United States politics. It was previously operated by the Heritage Foundation, but is now owned and operated by Salem Communications. Townhall.com, which publishes daily, features more than 80 columns (both syndicated and exclusive) by writers such as Dennis Prager, Neal Boortz, William F. Buckley Jr., Ann Coulter, Dinesh D'Souza, Larry Elder, Jonah Goldberg, Matt Lewis, Rebecca Hagelin, Paul Jacob, Paul Kengor, David Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, Robert Novak, Thomas Sowell, Jacob Sullum, Mike Adams, Amanda Carpenter, Fred Thompson, and Cal Thomas. It also publishes news from the Associated Press. Its columnists often appear as guest commentators on C-SPAN, MSNBC, CNN, and the FOX News Channel.

Purchase by Salem

In May 2006, Salem Communications purchased Townhall.com. Salem named Chuck DeFeo as the site's new manager, and Hugh Hewitt as the site's "Executive Editor". The site, which was relaunched on July 4th of 2006, reflected Hewitt's ambition to create a clearinghouse for conservative New Media and activism; it kept the deep stable of conservative commentators and columnists, but added an ambitious slate of new features, including podcasts of Salem network and local talk shows, blogs run by Salem talk show hosts, links to send feedback to politicians and sign petitions, and a facility to allow any user to set up a blog on the Townhall.com server.

Print Edition

In February 2008 TownHall.com premiered as a monthly print magazine, "Townhall."
