, a website displaying interviews, music videos and feature-length films, launched in April 2008. Pitchfork has launched a variety of subsidiary websites. By the end of 2004, Pitchfork had also begun garnering a following for its extensive coverage of underground music and its writing style, which was often unhindered by the conventions of journalism. The site also added a daily music news section by year's end through the work of its expanding staff and resources. By 2004, Schreiber brought on Kaskie as his partner in Pitchfork and they moved from sporadic updates and an unpredictable schedule to an expanded offering of four full-length album reviews daily, as well as interviews, features, and columns-designed to model a magazine for the internet age.

In May 1996, the site began publishing daily and was renamed Pitchfork, alluding to Tony Montana's tattoo in Scarface. Initially called Turntable, the site was updated monthly with interviews and reviews. In 1996, Ryan Schreiber, a recent high school graduate, influenced by fanzine culture and with no previous writing experience, created the website. During the 1990s and 2000s the site's reviews-favorable or otherwise-were considered widely influential in making or breaking careers. The site publishes 'best-of' lists-albums, songs-and annual features and retrospectives each year. Since 2016, it has published retrospective reviews of classics, and other albums that it had not previously reviewed, each Sunday. The site is best known for its daily output of music reviews but also regularly reviews reissues and box sets. Its offices are currently located in One World Trade Center alongside other Condé Nast publications. Initially based in Minneapolis, Pitchfork later moved to Chicago (which remained its official headquarters up until its acquisition) and then Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Pitchfork was sold to Condé Nast in 2015, although Schreiber, along with his partner in Pitchfork president Chris Kaskie, remained the site's editor-in-chief and president/publisher until they eventually left the company in 20, respectively.
