CQ Press, a division of SAGE, is a leading publisher of books, directories,
research publications, and Web products on U.S. government, world
affairs, and journalism. CQ Press owes its existence to Nelson Poynter,
former publisher of the St. Petersburg Times, and his wife Henrietta,
with whom he founded Congressional Quarterly in 1945. Poynter
established CQ with the mission of promoting democracy through
education and in 1975 founded the Modern Media Institute, renamed
The Poynter Institute for Media Studies after his death. The Poynter
Institute (www.poynter.org) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to
training journalists and media leaders.
In 2008, CQ Press was acquired by SAGE, a leading international
publisher of journals, books, and electronic media for academic,
educational, and professional markets. Since 1965, SAGE has helped
inform and educate a global community of scholars, practitioners,
researchers, and students spanning a wide range of subject areas,
including business, humanities, social sciences, and science, technology,
and medicine. A privately owned corporation, SAGE has offices in Los
Angeles, London, New Delhi, and Singapore, in addition to the
Washington DC office of CQ Press.
