Breaking news (better late than never)

This is actually old news now, but I wanted to post it for those who aren't paying attention to media industry news. Roll Call Group (and its parent company the Economist Group) announced its purchase of Congressional Quarterly this week. (Read Roll Call's announcement here.) For those unfamiliar with the company, Congressional Quarterly also reports on and tracks the happenings of Congress, though with a slightly different focus than Roll Call. Thus, we've been told the publications will remain with their distinct voices.

I'm sure some things will be changing (at least eventually), but hopefully it will all be for the best.
