***MEDIA ADVISORY***
MEGHAN MCCAIN, MICHAEL MOYNIHAN & ALEX CHITTY TO JOIN 2WAY
Interactive Media Platform Adds Top Talent For Fast-Growing Audience
New York, New York. – 2WAY, the interactive live video platform devoted to unique conversations, breaking news, and unbiased discourse, today announced the addition of two top media figures who will join the platform as their content home. Meghan McCain and Michael Moynihan will bring their talents to the 2WAY lineup beginning in February.
Meghan McCain currently hosts the successful podcast “Citizen McCain.” She is a former co-host of “The View” on ABC, and has worked at Fox News and MSNBC. Michael Moynihan, previously a journalist at The Free Press, is co-host of the “Fifth Column” podcast, and is a veteran reporter and editor with stints at Vice, The Daily Beast, and Reason Magazine.
In addition, Alex Chitty is coming to 2WAY as head of strategy and operations. Alex joins from The Free Press where he was head of audio and video, after more than a decade at Vice Media making shows for HBO, Showtime, Hulu and many more. Alex also worked as a correspondent for international outlets including The Economist.
These three media stars will bring their considerable talents to 2WAY’s innovative media platform. 2WAY has built a strong community and a devoted fanbase as an environment where diverse perspectives are celebrated, honest opinions are freely expressed, and the reporting and analysis are consistently ahead of the curve. 2WAY was founded in 2024, and is led by CEO Arnold Jung and Editor-in-Chief Mark Halperin.
“Adding Meghan, Michael, and Alex is fabulous, but it is just the start,” said Halperin. “Throughout 2025, 2WAY will bring on other exciting content creators and organizational partners to expand our content verticals, our distribution channels, and the reach of 2WAY. Any person or enterprise with an existing following who wants to bring their current superfans closer to them and find new ones is a strong candidate to partner with us.”
Halperin is a veteran political reporter and #1 New York Times-bestselling author who also serves as the founder and managing editor of the members-only Wide World of News Concierge Coverage newsletter, with previous stints at ABC News, MSNBC, Showtime, Bloomberg News, and Time Magazine.
The addition of McCain and Moynihan will take 2WAY’s content to the next level after the platform’s breakout debut during the 2024 election season. The media startup, guided by Halperin’s decades of journalistic experience, broke major stories including the world exclusive on former President Joe Biden’s decision to exit the presidential race against Donald Trump, as well as Trump’s selection of Scott Bessent for Secretary of the Treasury. New York Magazine featured 2WAY in their media “power” issue, calling it “really new and really authoritative.”
2WAY video clips are featured regularly on MSNBC and Fox News, and their content has been cited in the Wall Street Journal and many other publications
2WAY’s innovative format transforms the traditional viewing experience into dynamic, participatory events by hosting live online shows featuring top experts in all subject matters, and giving the community the chance to be part of a real-time conversation that includes their questions and opinions. 2WAY leaves behind the one-way formats of TV talking heads and rote commentary, podcasts, and news reports, and instead offers an interactive forum of thoughtful, sophisticated, in-depth conversation where diverse voices are heard and all participants are treated with respect. In 2025, 2WAY will build on its initial success with political content and will expand into areas such as personal finance, parenting, music, sports, and more.
This approach – unique in global media – is already resonating with the viewing public. Since launching regular programming in June 2024, 2WAY boasts 96 million video impressions and 12.8 million video views on YouTube and 37 million impressions and 15.4 million video views on X.
Adding McCain, Moynihan, and Chitty is part of 2WAY’s latest phase of strategic expansion. Their first round of investment closed in late 2024, with strong interest currently building for a second-round opportunity among present and new investors.
