Or, more specifically, we own DC’s two Congress-obsessed all-politics papers:
The Economist Group, which owns Roll Call, just bought Congressional Quarterly. CQ was formerly owned by the nonprofit Poynter Institute. The Economist Group is controlled by a trust including one Rothschild. Pearson PLC (owners of the Financial Times Group), owns a 50% non-voting stake.
The majority of these titles are still making money, due primarily to upscale subscriber bases of influential people. (Both Roll Call nor CQ place the majority of their online content behind a paywall.)
