You may have seen the news that DC-based tech start-up Fiscal Note is poised to acquire CQ Roll Call, one of DC’s most recognized outlets for in-depth coverage of high profile congressional happenings, and even the fun stuff you don’t get the chance to see in the saturation of divisive DC politics.
Although it could be good news for the company, some journalists expressed mixed feelings.
Dear Fiscal Note: I don't know anything about you. I do know you just bought a treasured DC media institution. If you plan to Tronc them, please just cancel sale & let someone who wants to succeed buy them.https://t.co/5zRijj73RS
