The Regional Reporters Association represents local news outlets covering Washington, D.C., from their hometown perspectives.

We are the eyes and ears for our communities, bringing insight from inside the Beltway to everyday people where they live and work.

New to covering D.C.?

Whether you’re a one-person news operation or part of a larger bureau, we help each other navigate covering Congress, the White House and the rest of the federal government.

RRA was founded in 1988 by Washington-based regional reporters who found they could help each other without compromising competition. We share knowledge and resources, organize briefings and skill-building seminars, and advocate as a group for transparency from government agencies and officials.
