Congressional Quarterly President and Editor-in-Chief Robert W. Merry has been named one of the Top Innovators in Business Publishing by BtoB Media Business. This is Media Business’ sixth year of honoring business-to-business media executives who, in a rapidly changing environment, are constantly creating new products and services to build their audiences and generate revenue.
A decade after joining Congressional Quarterly as managing editor, Merry was named CEO in 1997, and feels that CQ has succeeded for two primary reasons: “Our staff of more than 160 reporters, researchers and editors is the biggest, best and most objective editorial team covering Congress, politics and public policy.”
“We also have a state-of-the-art, highly functional online platform that links subscribers to nearly 40 subscription-based services and databases where they can track bills, monitor video of congressional floor debate, receive custom e-mail alerts or comb through daily reports on Congress,” Merry added.
