Will Ricciardella

About

I'm a strategic media executive with over a decade of experience leading digital newsrooms, growing audiences, and delivering content that moves the public conversation. As Managing Editor of Politics at Fox News Digital, I direct high-stakes election coverage and lead one of the platform’s most-read verticals, driving performance through sharp editorial planning, SEO, audience data, and exclusive reporting. Previously, I built and scaled teams at the Washington Examiner and The Daily Caller, leading digital turnarounds that multiplied engagement rates, set traffic records, and redefined their social media strategies. In 2020, I founded Ricciardella Media, a consulting firm that advises creators and media companies on digital growth, editorial strategy, and platform innovation. While not currently active in a client-facing capacity, the company reflects my long-term commitment to modernizing media operations and building scalable content systems. I’ve increased traffic by 50%, tripled audience growth, and helped teams punch far above their weight, all while maintaining editorial rigor and adapting to new formats. Whether I’m leading coverage on election night, restructuring a legacy newsroom, or developing a high-impact content strategy, I bring a blend of innovation, clarity, and hands-on leadership.
