The Hill - publication

Limbaugh referenced The Hill today. What's that?

From Wikipedia:
The Hill, a subsidiary of News Communications, Inc., is a newspaper published in Washington, D.C. since 1994.

Its first editor was Martin Tolchin, a veteran correspondent in the Washington bureau of The New York Times.

It is written for and about the U.S. Congress, with a special focus on business and lobbying, political campaigns. and other events on Capitol Hill. The newspaper features investigative reporting, profiles of lawmakers and aides, features describing the sociology and politics of the Hill, book and restaurant reviews, and a weekly column about the Capitol Hill neighborhoods.

Since 2003, The Hill's editor in chief has been Hugo Gurdon, previously a reporter and editor at The Daily Telegraph (London) and the National Post (Toronto). Gurdon turned The Hill from a weekly paper into a daily during congressional sessions.

The newspaper has the largest circulation of any Capitol Hill publication, above 21,000. It has a free website and seven blogs: The Hill's Congress Blog, The Hill's Pundits Blog, The Hill's Briefing Room, The Hill's Twitter Room, Hillicon Valley, On The Money, and E2Wire. Hillicon Valley is a policy blog about technology, E2Wire focuses on energy and environment, and On the Money is about finance.
