WWoN Concierge Coverage Membership Details
From the reporter the New York Times called “the insider’s insider” and Politico deemed “the high priest of establishment political journalism” comes a new way to get the most timely and fascinating stories of the upcoming presidential election and the next administration.
Mark Halperin has taken his unsurpassed sources at the senior levels of both political parties and his ability to spotlight the substance, drama and consequence of modern politics to create the Wide World of News Concierge Coverage, a unique product unavailable anywhere else.
This new service will give you – and your company or organization – actionable insights beyond dumbed-down cable news chatter or social doom scrolling. Instead, you’ll get the inside track on what will happen next and why, from Halperin’s unbiased, curated reporting.
As a member, you will get Mark Halperin’s trademark rigorous, non-partisan analysis of policy, the political arena, the media, and the contours and implications of the 2024 presidential election, the Biden administration, and the future of American politics.
Here are quotes from two members of Halperin’s Concierge Coverage that give you an idea of who is part of the Wide World of News community and just how distinctly non-partisan Mark’s reporting and analysis are:
“With the knowledge that comes from experience and the freshness that comes from shoe leather, Wide World of News offers insights about politics and the world that you can’t get anywhere else so concisely.” – Bill Bradley, former Democratic United States Senator
“Halperin’s newsletter is the first thing I read every day. It is indispensable in understanding what is going on.” – Newt Gingrich, former Republican Speaker of the House
The author or co-author of five books, including the New York Times No. 1 best seller “Game Change,” Halperin will bring you into the inner circle of the Gang of 500 and behind the scenes of American power, with features including:
Two exclusive one-hour briefing sessions with Mark over the next year. Many members will request speeches with Q&A about the presidential election, public policy, or the likely direction of pending issues. Halperin can give your board, your core team, your club or organization, or your family and friends an insider look at the latest data, compelling stories, and campaign forecasts. For those who regularly organize events, this provides an opportunity to easily and affordably book a speaker who is well-informed and truly non-partisan, scheduled well in advance or on short notice.
Exclusive access to focus group sessions, moderated by Mark, with voter participants from around the country reacting to the latest news. Because these sessions are convened online, they can be booked and staged more quickly than traditional brick-and-mortar focus groups. Focus groups are one of the most trenchant ways to understand where the hearts and minds of voters are at a given moment. Mark will arrange focus groups to discuss presidential announcements, debates, veepstakes, October Surprises (even if they happen in July), health concerns, personality quirks, campaign strategy, team shakeups, and so on. These sessions will give members regular insights into the campaign. For a taste of how Mark conducts focus groups, click here to see one he did right after the Capitol was stormed on January 6, 2021.
First Tuesday of the Month salon conversations will be the sort of get-togethers that are normally reserved for the best-connected insiders. Mark will invite Concierge members and other guests — the most informed, interesting, and provocative souls — to chat about the latest in the campaign. These off-the-record conversations will be fun and fascinating, and a chance to connect with people around the country who are plugged in to the latest information. Some might call it hard news, some might call it watercooler chat, some might call it gossip, some might call it not-so blind items – but it will be both juicy and valuable.
The Wide World of News Concierge Coverage is available in two tiers, which include:
The flagship daily morning newsletter read by insiders around the country, the Wide World of News.
Breaking news analysis emails, arming you in real time for your next meeting or video conference call.
Exclusive Zooms for both breaking news and scheduled events, hosted by Halperin and featuring notable guests from across the political world. These sessions include Q&A. Members will receive special access.

Two one-hour Zoom sessions per year directly with Halperin. You can also gift your sessions.
First Tuesday of the Month salon conversations over Zoom, featuring off-the-record, hyper-sophisticated, on-point conversations about politics, government, the economy, and the media.
Access to view special online focus groups of voters from around the country that will provide unique insight into the 2024 presidential campaign and issues of the day.
