History
editFor most of its life, Governing was published by Washington, D.C.–based Congressional Quarterly, Inc., a subsidiary of the Times Publishing Co. of St. Petersburg, Florida. In 1994, Governing acquired its primary competitor, City & State magazine, and that publication was merged into Governing. In 2009, it was sold to e.Republic.[1]
On August 7, 2019, the magazine announced that it would discontinue publication, with its September 2019 issue its last print edition. At first, it announced an intention to close its website and other operations.[2] However, it later relaunched as a website with a new focus: "what state and local government looks like in a world of rapidly advancing technology." The website adopted a new subtitle, renaming itself Governing: The Future of States and Localities.[3]
