About The National Pulse

The National Pulse describes itself as “a politics, culture, and health news site founded and operated by Editor-in-Chief Raheem J. Kassam.” It is published by The National Pulse LLC, which lists a mailing address in Jupiter, Florida, under the Pulse Media Group copyright.

Masthead and output

The site’s about page lists Kassam as Editor-in-Chief, Jack Montgomery as Deputy Editor, Will Upton as Political Editor and Christopher Tomlinson as a writer, and states that it also publishes external contributors. In addition to written articles, the site carries a streaming section that hosts video programming including the Fleccas Talks podcast.

Business model

The outlet’s stated slogan is “radically independent,” which it explains as meaning it takes no funding from large corporations or billionaires and refuses political campaign money. It says it is funded by readers through its Pulse+ membership tiers, and it also solicits direct donations and distributes a free email newsletter and a mobile app. These are the outlet’s own descriptions of its finances; no independent audit is cited here.
