issues. He also wrote about the growing social TV industry for another Mediabistro blog “Lost Remote.” Chariton saw the electronic news industry evolving and joined TVNewser, a Mediabistro blog focusing on the television news industry. There, Chariton covered ratings, hiring, cable news coverage, and interviewed anchors and journalists from a variety of networks. He wrote multiple articles about the transitioning of the medium, and the increasingly significant role that electronic media and social media had in contemporary news. In 2014, Chariton joined LA-based entertainment trade website TheWrap as its media reporter. At The Wrap, Chariton broke stories about CNN staffers’ complaints about the network’s obsessive coverage of Donald Trump, MSNBC’s executives shifting the network away from a Progressive identity, and "Legacy newspapers like the New York Times and Washington Post's pivot to digital subscriptions." At The Young Turks/TYT Politics Chariton was hired as the first ever on-the-ground reporter for the online Progressive commentary show The Young Turks. He was hired to run TYT Politics YouTube channel, which he grew to 140,000 subscribers in his first year. He is best known for covering (at the scene) the Flint water crisis, the protests at Standing Rock, North Dakota, and the DNC Wikileaks scandal as well as the Podesta emails. He also covered the water crisis at Cape Fear, North Carolina. Chariton interviewed activist/Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon in 2016 for the Rebel HQ segment of TYT Politics. The clip of her thoughts on Donald Trump was picked up by several media outlets, including the New York Daily News, Politico, and Entertainment Weekly. Chariton became known for his interviews with voters, activists, working class people, and community members rather than political pundits and campaign operatives. He reported on the controversy involving Democratic National Committee interim chairwoman Donna Brazile during the 2016 presidential election. Chariton also grew acclaim for challenging supporters of Donald Trump, with several of his interviews going viral online. His most memorable moment from the 2016 campaign trail was when he challenged Democratic strategist and CNN contributor Donna Brazile about her passing off questions for a CNN town hall to Hillary Clinton’s campaign ahead of time. Beyond the campaign, Chariton rose to notoriety for his on-the-ground coverage from North Dakota from indigenous protests at Standing Rock against the Dakota Access Pipeline (he took seven reporting trips there from August 2016 to February 2017). At Standing Rock, Chariton interviewed hundreds of indigenous people
