| CQ
Researcher |
The CQ Researcher explores a single "hot" issue in the news in
depth each week. Topics range from social and teen issues to environment,
health, education and science and technology. There are 44 reports produced
each year including four expanded reports. The CQ Researcher's hallmark is scrupulous objectivity and balance. Every 12,000-word report is written by an experienced journalist and features comments from experts, lawmakers and citizens on all sides of every issue. Each CQ Researcher examines a single topic of public concern, such as parental rights or Middle East peace. It gives the reader a broad overview of the subject, including the historical background and a discussion of the current controversies and initiatives. Numerous charts, graphs and sidebar articles -- plus a pro-con feature, a chronology, lengthy bibliographies and a list of contacts -- round out each report. |
| CQ Weekly |
"CQ Weekly reports on the world's most powerful legislative body completely and accurately every week. The CQ news team-by far the largest on Capitol Hill, with more than 100 reporters, editors, and researchers-covers virtually every act of Congress, delivering nonpartisan news and analysis unavailable anywhere else. Readers get in-depth reports on issues looming on the congressional horizon, plus a complete wrap-up of the previous week's news, including the status of bills in play, behind-the-scenes maneuvering, committee and floor activity, debates, and all roll-call votes." |
