The Hotline is a daily political briefing published by Atlantic Media from its headquarters at The Watergate complex in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1987, It is currently led by editor-in-chief Kirk Bado and published independently until its acquisition in 1996 by National Journal Group, now a subsidiary of Atlantic Media. It is notable for being "the first aggregation of political news ever produced in the United States"[1] and for being a leader in converting political newsletters from mere aggregations to include detailed analysis.[2]
