"The Politico" is a partner with several news outlets who co-report and distribute its video, print, and audio content. Partners include CBS News, [cite web|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/01/21/ftn/main2381362.shtml|title=The Politico Roundtable; New Political News Site Will Partner With CBS News|publisher=CBS News|date=2007-01-21] Allbritton Communications's ABC stations WJLA and KTUL,cite web|url=http://www.washingtonian.com/articles/mediapolitics/3148.html|title=Politico Hopes To Rock Washington Media|date=2007-01-22|publisher=Washingtonian] radio station WTOP,cite web|url=http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/01/08/business/washington.php|title=For journalists, it's not politics as usual|date=2007-01-08|publisher=International Herald Tribune] , and Yahoo! News election coverage.

"Politico" journalists covering political campaigns plan to carry a video camera with them to every assignment, and journalists are encouraged to promote their work elsewhere. Though "The Politico" seeks to break the traditional journalism mold, it expects to initially make much of its money from Washington D.C.-focused newspaper advertising.cite web|url=http://www.ajr.org/Article.asp?id=4265|title=Politico Mojo|publisher=American Journalism Review|date=2007-01]
