History and profile
National Journal was founded in 1969 as the Government Research Corporation,[5] a premium research service and journalism company, and was published for many years by the Times Mirror Corporation, which also owned the Los Angeles Times at the time.[6]
David G. Bradley, who founded the Advisory Board Company and Corporate Executive Board,[7] purchased National Journal and The Hotline from Times Mirror in 1997 to form the National Journal Group. Bradley also acquired Government Executive in his deal for National Journal, and added The Atlantic magazine soon after in 1999.[8] Bradley later consolidated the properties to form Atlantic Media. In 2005, Bradley centralized all of his publications at Atlantic Media's headquarters in the Watergate Building in Washington, D. C.[9]
Atlantic Media now publishes several prominent news magazines and digital publications including The Atlantic, Quartz, Government Executive, and Defense One, in addition to The Hotline and National Journal Daily, which are published under the National Journal brand.[10]
