CQ Roll Call to fold brands into single print publication

New York—The Economist Group's CQ Roll Call, which publishes several media products that cover Congress, is consolidating all its brands into one daily print publication.

“We are continuing with plans to combine our newsrooms as we move to one print publication daily,” CQ Roll Call said in a statement. “Our readers will now be able to consume politics and policy news through one vehicle—in print and online. We are moving forward in the digital space—investing in CQ.com and continuing our legislative information and bill track services.”

CQ Roll Call's portfolio includes CQ Today, CQ Weekly, Roll Call and TranscriptsWire, a database of congressional transcripts.

According to FishBowl D.C., 30 employees have been let go from CQ Roll Call in the past two weeks. The company declined comment on the report.
