About Governing and Governing.com

Governing is a monthly magazine whose primary audience is state and local government officials: the governors, mayors, legislators, council members, program directors, agency heads, policy advisors and other officials spanning the entire range of responsibility for state and local government. They are the men and women who set policy for and manage the day-to-day operations of cities, counties and states, as well as such governmental bodies as school boards and special districts.

Governing serves 85,000 subscribers and more than 275,000 readers each month. Besides public officials, its readers include journalists, academics, companies that provide products and services for government, and involved citizens with an interest in the governments closest to them.

Governing was the recipient of a 2002 Folio: magazine Editorial Excellence Award, recognizing the magazine for its February 2001 Government Performance Project issue that graded the states in five categories of management. (For more information on the Government Performance Project, click here.) The magazine also has been nominated four times for National Magazine Awards: in the columns and commentary for three columns by Executive Editor Alan Ehrenhalt in 2003; in the public interest category for its Government Performance Project coverage in 2001 and 1999; and for general excellence in the under-100,000 circulation category in 1996.

The national media also looks to Governing for authoritative news and analysis on state and local government. USA Today, Fortune, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, 60 Minutes and Dateline all have cited Governing articles in their reports.

Governing.com, Governing's award-winning Web site, draws some 60,000 unique visitors and more than a half-million page views each month. In addition, some 30,000 subscribers start their workdays with Governing.com Daily, a free e-mail newsletter. (For more information on the newsletter or to subscribe, click here.)

Governing is published by Congressional Quarterly, Inc., a subsidiary of the Times Publishing Co. of St. Petersburg, Florida. In 1994, Governing acquired City & State magazine, and the two publications were merged into Governing.
