GOVERNMENT TECHNOLOGY & SERVICES COALITION ACQUIRES HOMELAND SECURITY TODAY MAGAZINE & MEDIA PLATFORM
Washington, D.C., October 31, 2017 — The Government Technology & Services Coalition (GTSC) announced today that it has acquired Homeland Security Today (HS Today), one of the homeland security community’s most respected media platforms, from 5T Ventures, LLC. Under this new, non-profit ownership, HSToday’s contributors and content will expand to better inform and support the homeland security mission.
“GTSC’s new HSToday is dedicated to putting real facts and analysis in context to tell the stories of homeland security in a way no other outlet can,” said HSToday Executive Editor and GTSC CEO Kristina Tanasichuk. “Too often, what passes for news is just a compilation of innuendo, gossip, and opinion. The current breadth and depth of homeland security reporting does not tell the story of the homeland mission sufficiently. Facts still exist and things are done for a reason. GTSC’s HSToday is here to deliver the whole story for our members and community.”
Since 2004, HSToday has been an essential resource and news platform for the homeland security community, catering to: professionals within the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies with homeland security responsibilities like the FBI, ODNI, Treasury etc.; state and local law enforcement and emergency responders; members of the Intelligence Community; legislators, policymakers and regulators; professionals, business leaders and analysts in the private, nonprofit and academic sectors. Going forward, HSToday will continue to offer coverage on pressing homeland security issues, drawing on unbiased writing, expert voices and a commitment to collaboration with the security community.
HSToday will deliver trusted, nuanced writing informed by named sources at the highest levels of government, leaders throughout the private sector, and other professionals engaged in the homeland security mission. HSToday articles will cover: federal efforts, outreach, plans and activities to secure the homeland; analysis on homeland security industry achievements, ideas and opportunities; and rich writing and reporting on the complex, challenging issues related to guarding against and responding to threats natural and manmade.
“HSToday will continue to be a critical observer to all the happenings in homeland security,” said Tanasichuk. “Unlike other news outlets, however, our coverage will deliver the whole story, putting essential information in context to elevate conversations, inform decisions, and better protect the nation.”
HSToday will reveal the outlet’s new staff, editorial board, website and other updates in the coming months, leading to a formal relaunch of HSToday in early 2018.
Interested parties are welcome to sign up for GTSC’s HSToday here.
