History

The web domain for Inquisitr was registered in Iceland on August 6, 2007. [2] It was founded by former TechCrunch journalist Duncan Riley. Inquisitr was eventually put up for sale in 2011, with Riley citing personal reasons for the sale. [3] [4] [5]

Leadership and Strategic Pivot

In March 2020, CEO Dominick Miserandino announced a comprehensive overhaul of Inquisitr Media, reporting a revenue growth of 240% in 2019 and a 42% increase in site traffic, which moved the company to full profitability after previously operating at losses of approximately US$ 150,000 per month.
