Editing CQ Press (section)

==History==
[[Nelson Poynter]], former journalist and owner of the [[St. Petersburg Times]], and his wife Henrietta, founded [[Congressional Quarterly]] in 1945. Poynter's vision for Congressional Quarterly was to make transparent the happenings within the government and Washington, DC. Poynter established the Modern Media Institute, now known as the [[The Poynter Institute for Media Studies|Poynter Institute]], with the mission of promoting democracy through education to journalists and other media leaders. After Poynter's death in 1978, the Institute received controlling stock of the St. Petersburg Times and ownership of CQ.

In May 2008, CQ Press was purchased from [[Congressional Quarterly]] by [[SAGE Publications]] in its entirety.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://www.cqpress.com/docs/cqpress-sale-announcement.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081028184255/http://www.cqpress.com/docs/cqpress-sale-announcement.pdf |archive-date=October 28, 2008 |title=SAGE acquires CQ Press, Book-Publishing Unit of Congressional Quarterly Inc. |date=May 30, 2008 |publisher=SAGE Publications}}{{cbignore}}</ref> SAGE is an international publisher of journals, books, and electronic media for academic, educational, and professional markets.
