The Hill, Political newspaper in Washington DC, US.
The Hill is a newspaper in Washington DC that focuses on daily coverage of congressional proceedings, political campaigns, and legislative processes. The newsroom monitors debates in the House and Senate and tracks decisions that shape political life in the capital.
Jerry Finkelstein and Martin Tolchin founded the paper in 1994 as a weekly publication aimed at congressional staff and decision makers. Within less than ten years, it evolved into a daily newspaper mirroring the rhythm of legislative work.
The newsroom publishes multiple daily editions with reports on bills, votes, and statements from lawmakers sourced directly from Capitol Hill offices. Congressional staff and lobbyists use the paper as a morning briefing tool to track developments and coordinate positions.
Printed copies are available free of charge in government buildings, congressional offices, and public spaces throughout central Washington. Online, the website offers real-time updates on ongoing hearings and votes accessible via mobile devices and desktop browsers.
Following the 2016 election, monthly readership grew eightfold, reflecting rising public interest in the inner workings of government. The newsroom maintains dedicated reporters permanently stationed in the hallways and committee rooms of the Capitol.
