Published Monday to Thursday when the United States Congress is in session and Mondays only during recess, Roll Call provides its readers with up-to-the-minute news of the legislative and political maneuvers that happen every day on Capitol Hill. In addition to breaking news, readers get insight from such respected Washington, D.C. analysts as Morton Kondracke, Stuart Rothenberg, and Norman J. Ornstein, plus political coverage of Congressional elections across the country. RollCall.com, the online version of the newspaper, provides not only the full content of the print edition but also breaking news stories and daily e-mail alerts.

Founded in 1955 by Sid Yudain, a former press secretary to Congressman Al Morano (R-CT), Roll Call is now a member of The Economist Group. Other members of the Group include The Economist, CFO and European Voice.

Print and online subscriptions to Roll Call are available for terms ranging from three months to two years. Every issue, 11,500 copies of Roll Call are delivered to Congress and 400 copies are delivered to the White House free of charge.
