In an April 2018 interview, Avlon described the publication's political stance as "non-partisan but not neutral": "what that means is we're going to hit both sides where appropriate, but we're not going for mythic moral equivalence on every issue." In April 2017, Avlon discussed the organization's approach on the Poynter Institute's podcast saying, "We're not going to toe any partisan line." In December 2017, NPR reported that The Daily Beast 's editor-in-chief John Avlon had begun pairing reporters from both the right and left sides of the political spectrum to cover White House stories.

In a 2015 interview, former editor-in-chief John Avlon described the Beast 's editorial approach: "We seek out scoops, scandals, and stories about secret worlds we love confronting bullies, bigots, and hypocrites." In 2018, Avlon described the Beast 's "strike zone" as "politics, pop culture, and power". It has been characterized as a "high-end tabloid" by Noah Shachtman, the site's editor-in-chief from 2018 to 2021.
