DISCOVERY BAY, CA (November 8, 2012) — Rant Media Network (RMN) is one of the fastest growing online media companies in the world today. Starting with Rant Sports, and further branching into verticals Rant Political, Rant Finance, and Rant Gaming, RMN’s sole purpose is and always will be to give journalists a platform to make their opinions heard while paying them for their hard work.

Starting in a basement in the suburbs of Chicago, RMN has expanded to two offices in Chicago and San Francisco. As a result of their success, RMN has extended several full-time positions within the organization. Having founded the company in February of 2010, CoFounders Brett Rosin and Grant Brown have taken RMN to unimaginable heights and will continue to build the company with the simple model that writers should be paid for their work.

“Rant Media Network has and will always strive to provide bloggers and journalists with a platform that allows them to express their opinions, while earning a fair value for their work. As this is something that is severally lacking in the industry, we will always fight for and align our strategies to continue making RMN the best place on the Internet for content producers.”– Grant Brown, CoFounder/Co-CEO, Rant Media Network

“There are many internet sites popping up in the industry asking authors to pay up front for the privilege to write or write for free. I find this morally and ethically irresponsible and it’s time to break that cycle. At Rant, we give people the opportunity to passionately state their opinion across our verticals. More importantly, of the entire industry, we pay everyone for their work in the fairest
way possible. We will always come back to these important principles upon which we were founded. That is what we, as a company, are most proud of.” — Brett Rosin, Co-Founder/Co-CEO, Rant Media Network

“Rant Sports has provided me and the writers on my team the opportunity to grow as sports writers and be rewarded through our effort. We know that the work we put in will lead to tangible results. The culture of our site is open, transparent, and supportive — a combination that is so rare and a pleasure to be a part of.” – Kris Hughes, College Football Network Manager

“The experience with Rant Sports has been unlike any other I’ve encountered. I been with many different websites, and Rant Sports is the only site that paid me from day one. It truly is a rare opportunity in this market and refreshing to know not every online media company is taking advantage of their writers.“ — Jeff Shull, NFL Writer, Rant Sports

RMN has a staff of over 400 writers that garner an audience of eight million unique visitors monthly. Rant Sports had over 6.4 million unique visitors and 31 million page views in October alone. RMN expects to have paid out close to $200,000 to its writers in 2012.
