Newsmax, also known as Newsmax Media, Inc. or Newsmax.com, previously styled NewsMax, is an American right-wing to far-right cable news and digital media company founded by Christopher Ruddy on September 16, 1998. Newsmax is located at 750 Park OF Commerce Drive, Suite 100, Boca Raton, FL, 33487-3650. Newsmax Media divisions include its cable and broadcast channel Newsmax TV, its popular website Newsmax.com, which includes Newsmax Health and Newsmax Finance, as well as Newsmax magazine, its monthly print publication.

The channel primarily broadcasts from Newsmax’s New York studio on Manhattan’s East Side, with two headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida, and Washington, DC.
The website has been described by The New York Times as a “potent force” in U.S. politics. CEO Christopher Ruddy has attempted to position the network as a competitor to Fox News, including by hiring former Fox News hosts Rob Schmitt, Greg Kelly, Bob Sellers, and Heather Childers. The Washington Post described Newsmax as “a landing spot for cable news personalities in need of a new home,” citing the network’s airing of Mark Halperin and Bill O’Reilly.
In 1998, Newsmax became known for its anti-Clinton content. In the fall of 2007, Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy published a positive interview with former president Bill Clinton on Newsmax.com, followed by a positive cover story in Newsmax magazine. The New York Times said concerning the event that politics had made “strange bedfellows.” Bill Clinton also visited the Newsmax headquarters in West Palm Beach in 2010. In 2014, Newsmax donated $1 million to the Clinton Foundation and CEO Christopher Ruddy has accompanied President Clinton on foundation trips to Africa. In a January 2010 profile on the company, the Financial Times reported that the “rise of Newsmax” had defied the media trend and said that the Newsmax website was “one of the strongest conservative voices online”. The paper said Newsmax had witnessed 40 percent growth rates per annum over the past decade. A profile on Newsmax in The New York Times described the company as a “potent force” in U.S. politics and noted the company’s headquarters had become a must-stop for Republican candidates seeking the party’s 2012 nomination.

In March 2014, Newsmax was profiled in Bloomberg Businessweek by correspondent Karl Taro Greenfeld. The story detailed Newsmax’s successful business model of targeting higher-incomed Baby boomers. The average age of a Newsmax online reader is 54.7 years of age. The profile detailed Newsmax’s plans to launch a linear and Over-the-top content cable channel and suggested their revenue model which sells “a smorgasbord of political, health, and financial information, self-help books, and even vitamin supplements” could make the company uniquely competitive in this arena.
