National Journal is an American weekly magazine that reports on the current political environment and emerging political and policy trends. National Journal was first published in 1969 and is now part of National Journal Group, a division of Atlantic Media Company. It was purchased by David G. Bradley in 1997.[1]
The magazine was established in 1969 by Thomas N. Schroth, who formed the publication after being fired from his post as editor of Congressional Quarterly, with many CQ staff defecting to the new publication.[2]
National Journal is aimed at Washington insiders.[3] It is mostly read by members of Congress, Capitol Hill staffers, the White House, Executive Branch agencies, the media, think tanks, corporations, associations and lobbyists. Most of the journal's content can be accessed only by subscribers.
The magazine has received three National Magazine Awards.[4]

As of 2006, National Journal has an agreement with Washington Week which ensures that at least one National Journal reporter is on the show.[5]
