The Daily Wire has announced additions to its original reporting team, with Jennie Taer and Amber Jo Cooper joining the company.
Taer joins the digital outlet after previously working for the New York Post. At the publication, she covered immigration and national security. During her time on that beat, she broke several stories, including footage of more than 300 immigrants attempting to enter the United States illegally in 2024. She also spent time working at The Daily Caller.
“I’ve always been a fan of Jennie’s reporting,” Daily Wire editor-in-chief Brent Scher said. “From the southern border to foreign wars and everything in between, she’s always chasing a story with the goal of giving readers a front-row seat to the most pressing fight of the day.”
Additionally, Amber Jo Cooper joins the unit and will be the outlet’s first-ever Washington D.C.-based Congressional correspondent.
Cooper previously worked as a senior reporter for Florida’s Voice. She also spent time in local television, working at FOX21 in Colorado Springs.
“Amber Jo is a consummate journalist,” Daily Wire DC Bureau Chief Tim Rice said. “For years, she’s exposed corruption and held lawmakers accountable at state houses and town meetings. We look forward to her doing the same here in the halls of Congress.”
“From Luke Rosiak’s exposés on government waste to Kassy Akiva’s relentless coverage of the war in Gaza, we’re not just covering the news, we’re driving it,” Scher added. “That’s always been the goal, and we hope to do it everywhere we place a reporter.”
