About RRA


The Regional Reporters Association represents local and regional news outlets covering the federal government’s impact on our communities from Washington, D.C.

We include news organizations large and small in communities across the United States, from Philadelphia to Dallas and Cleveland to Honolulu.

Our prize-winning members serve as the eyes and ears for our communities, bringing local expertise to some of America’s most vital swing states, contentious issues and top political players, including congressional leadership and rising presidential contenders.

We report on Congress, the White House and national politics, bringing insight from the beltway to everyday people where they live and work.
