The Capitol

Launching 2008, The Capitol will provide a monthly, in-depth examination of politics and policy in Albany and New York State as a whole. As its sister publication, City Hall, has done on city and statewide issues, The Capitol will provide a level of analysis, substance and wit often missing in other coverage of  government in the state capital. Feature articles focusing on the personalities and lighter side of some of the issues and people involved with state government will be part of The Capitol as well, making it the must-read paper of the Albany government and political communities.

As recent events have shown, there is much to report on about the inner workings and dynamics of state government and Albany. The Capitol will do this like no other publication, as the forum for ideas and interests for the elected officials, those who work for them and those who work with them.

The Capitol will be distributed in government buildings and in street boxes throughout the Capitol and Legislative Office Building area, as well as by mail to the offices and homes of key elected and appointed officials. The website is expected to be read by thousands weekly looking for the inside information about what is happening in Albany.

For the advertiser, The Capitol and www.nycapitolnews.com provide effective vehicles for reaching the most influential leaders and political professionals in New York State government. The Capitol will build on the success of City Hall, which, after just seven issues in 2006, was awarded Best Coverage of Local Government by the New York Press Association. “This is a well-deserved award,” the press association wrote, “you really ‘get’ the government beat.”
