The Hill is an American political news site and newspaper based in Washington, D.C., reporting on Congress, the White House and federal policy from its headquarters at 1625 K Street NW.
Founded in 1994, The Hill describes itself as a nonpartisan outlet that “connect[s] the players, define[s] the issues and engage[s] Washington’s decision makers in the debate,” and it says its print edition is distributed to all congressional offices, the White House and other opinion leaders, according to the outlet’s “Who We Are” page.
Ownership and reach are part of The Hill’s profile: the site’s “Who We Are” page states that The Hill’s print and online services are “owned and operated by Nexstar Media Group Inc. (Nasdaq: NXST),” and Wikipedia notes the publication was acquired by Nexstar in 2021.
The Hill’s headquarters address — listed on its masthead and in public reference sources — appears as 1625 K St., NW, Suite 900, Washington, D.C., 20006, which positions the brand in the K Street corridor close to Capitol Hill and policy centers.
Readers looking for practical context should note the outlet’s focus areas. The Hill says it covers “the intersection of politics and business,” including Congress, the administration, campaigns and lobbying, and it highlights video and event programming alongside written coverage.
The site’s audience claims are specific: The Hill’s about page says its print circulation exceeds 24,000 and that it is “read by opinion leaders, including 100 percent of Congressional offices, the White House, political pundits, association executives, lobbyists and corporate leaders.”
What this means for readers and advertisers
The Hill’s owned-and-operated status within Nexstar ties its digital and TV partnerships to a larger media network, the outlet notes, and that corporate relationship has shaped programming such as Hill.TV and distribution deals with streaming and cable partners.
Industry references and encyclopedic summaries add historical details: Wikipedia records The Hill’s founding in 1994 and documents its role as a Washington-based daily newspaper and national digital brand, while also listing circulation and historical milestones cited by the publication.
For political readers and professionals, The Hill remains a D.C.-based source aimed at Capitol Hill coverage and policy audiences; its own materials and public reference pages supply the principal confirmation of that positioning.
