THE HOTLINE ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH
GEORGIA POLITICAL & POLICY DIGEST FOR STATE POLITICAL NETWORK

New additions round out coverage in earliest 2008 primary states

Washington, DC– The Hotline, National Journal Group’s daily political news and analysis service, announced today the addition of the Georgia Political & Policy Digest (GPPD) and 3 other new partners in its recently launched state political network. The network now consists of GPPD and 9 of the nation’s best state political websites.

The Hotline Political Network provides readers with up-to-the-minute state and local news in some of the most politically important states in the country, including the three earliest primary states, Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. The Network, located on National Journal’s web site, will allow The Hotline’s influential readers to quickly access superior state and local coverage on top of the comprehensive, ground-breaking reporting on national politics they get from The Hotline.

"We are very proud to have been selected as a partner by The Hotline/National Journal Group. It is the most prestigious political/policy publication in Washington, and we are proud to be recognized by them as the best in Georgia," said Randy Lewis of the GPPD.

GPPD (Georgia Political Digest.com) was launched in March 2005 and quickly became one of Georgia’s most popular and respected web sites. The site contains a digest of news stories from around the state and allows political committees, elected officials, associations and think tanks the opportunity to post press releases and commentaries to advocate issues and policies. The site was an immediate hit and drew thousands of readers.

“The Hotline has been bringing wisdom before it’s conventional to Washington readers for nearly 20 years and now with our ever-expanding Hotline Political Network, we'll be bringing that same wisdom to every political community in the country, not just Washington, DC," said Chuck Todd, Editor in Chief of The Hotline.

The Hotline Political Network, located at: http://amcblog.nationaljournal.com/politicalnetwork/, provides readers access to updated headlines from each of the Network member’s sites, as well as links to Hotline’s On Call and Blogometer and other select content from The Hotline, including columns from Chuck Todd, John Mercurio and Charlie Cook.

News from the Network is also regularly featured on Hotline’s On Call blog, which has established a strong and loyal audience of readers and has been credited with breaking several key political news stories over the past months. On Call was first to report that former-Governor Mark Warner would soon announce he was not running for President, and was also the first to report then-Senator Bill Frist’s decision not to enter the 2008 race. Last week, On Call was also credited with being the first to report the Democrats’ decision to choose Denver as its 2008 Convention host city. On Call can be found at http://hotlineblog.nationaljournal.com/.
