Defense News
Defense News is a website and newspaper about politics, business, and technology of defense. "Defense News" serves an audience of senior military, government, and industry decision-makers throughout the world. "Defense News" is published by the Defense News Media Group, a unit of Sightline Media Group, which was once a part of Gannett Company. Sightline Media Group was sold to Los Angeles-based private equity firm Regent in 2016 by TEGNA. "Defense News" has a weekly television show about international defense and military issues. It first aired March 2, 2008, as "This Week in Defense News with Vago  Muradian" on WUSA 9, a Washington, D.C., CBS affiliate. It later aired on ABC 7 WJLA and the Armed Forces Network. In April 2017, the show relaunched on WETA-TV as "Defense News Weekly" with two co-hosts: Jill Aitoro, "Defense News" executive editor; and Tony Lombardo, executive editor of "Military Times", another Sightline brand. In September 2017, Jeff Martin, a former TV reporter from Alabama, took over hosting and producing duties. The show later moved off WETA to AFN and various online platforms.
