National Journal is an American digital media company based in Washington, D.C., that covers the current political environment and emerging political and policy trends.

It is now, along with The Hotline, part of National Journal Group, a division of Atlantic Media.

In 2010, buyouts were offered to the entire magazine's staff. The magazine was relaunched in October, along with a new, free website.[2]

Originally known as Congress Daily and re-branded in 2010 as National Journal Daily, the publication focuses on the legislative landscape and the inner workings on and off of Capitol Hill.

National Journal Hotline
Hotline is a digest of the day's political events relating to upcoming national elections. Published daily, Hotline condenses newspaper, magazine and digital political coverage from the previous 24 hours. Hotline "Wake-Up Call" releases daily coverage of the morning's political headlines; Hotline "Latest Edition" assembles election and campaign news across the country. Hotline reporters contribute to National Journal's overall political coverage.

National Journal Magazine
The magazine has received three National Magazine Awards.[4] The magazine was established in 1969 by Thomas N. Schroth, who formed the publication after being fired from his post as editor of Congressional Quarterly, with many CQ staff defecting to the new publication.[5] In July 2015, the company announced it would shutter its print magazine at the end of the year.[6]

The Almanac of American Politics
The Almanac of American Politics is a reference work that was published biennially by the National Journal Group from 1984 through 2014.[7] In 2015, Columbia Books & Information Services became the publisher of The Almanac of American Politics. The Almanac aims to provide a detailed look at the politics of the United States through an approach of profiling individual leaders and areas of the country.[8]
