History and publications
E&E is a subscription-based news service with paywalls. As of 2014, annual subscriptions cost between $2,000 and $150,000, depending on the range of products subscribed to. It was founded in 1998 by Kevin Braun and Michael Witt, with seven initial employees.{{cite web|first=Curtis |last=Brainard |url=https://archives.cjr.org/the_observatory/ee_news_launches_climatewire.php |title=E&E News Launches ClimateWire |website=Columbia Journalism Review |date=April 1, 2008}} The company began as a Capitol Hill clipping service, later became a weekly newsletter, and in 2000 became a Web-based news service.
As a specialist, niche news service,{{cite news |last1=Palleschi |first1=Amanda |title=Trump circus squeezes a key media niche on Capitol Hill |url=https://www.cjr.org/politics/capitol-hill-trade-publications.php |access-date=October 3, 2022 |work=Columbia Journalism Review |date=November 21, 2017}} most of E&E's subscribers are institutions, including think tanks, energy companies and other corporations, environmentalist groups, law firms, and state and federal agencies.
Publications and services that are or were part of E&E News include EnergyWire (launched in 2012), ClimateWire (launched in 2008), E&E Daily, E&E PM, OnPoint (a daily webcast), and Greenwire (purchased from the National Journal). E&E formerly had a content partnership with The New York Times. Pieces from E&E's ClimateWire are sometimes republished by Scientific American.
As of 2014, it employed roughly 75 journalists in ten cities across the United States.{{cite news |last1=O'Donovan |first1=Caroline |title=E&E Publishing is spending a lot of money on reporting most people won't ever see |url=https://www.niemanlab.org/2014/03/ee-publishing-is-spending-a-lot-of-money-on-reporting-most-people-wont-ever-see/ |access-date=December 18, 2014 |publisher=Nieman Journalism Lab |date=March 25, 2014}}
In January 2018, E&E News announced former editor-in-chief Kevin Braun would be stepping down and named Cy Zaneski as executive editor.
