Guy Benson has announced he is departing his role as Political Editor at Salem Media-owned Townhall.com after 18 years with the outlet.
Benson shared that he’s worked as a columnist for 18 years and served as the Political Editor for the brand for the past 15 years.
In a farewell column, Guy Benson shared that it was time to move on from his longtime digital home.
“I’ve been blessed with fantastic colleagues over the years; it will be impossible to name them all,” he shared. “It has been a pleasure.
“It’s astonishing how quickly a decade and a half has flown by in these eventful and consequential times,” Benson continued. “From the rise of the Tea Party in opposition to the Obama presidency, to Donald Trump’s second term in office, it’s been an honor to cover and comment on all of it, in this space. But now, I’m moving on.”
Benson’s exit comes less than two weeks following the departure of Townhall.com editor Katie Pavlich. Pavlich joined the outlet 16 years ago, but departed the outlet late last month.
He will continue to host his nationally syndicated radio show through Fox News Radio and will also continue to serve as a contributor
