The original The Media Beat column first appeared in 2004 when Tribune Newspapers commissioned it from David Tereshchuk. It ran as a weekly feature in Tribune's New York City daily paper, ‘AM New York’ until he took the column online in 2006.

A radio version of The Media Beat appears every week on the NPR Connecticut station WHDD (‘Robin Hood Radio’) and is available as The Media Beat Podcast on all major streaming platforms, as well as at WHDD's 'On Demand’ service.

From 2012 onward, Tereshchuk's frequent television reports on ethical issues have been broadcast on PBS programs Religion and Ethics Newsweekly and PBS Newshour.
