Since its inception, Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill since 1955, has written about and for the US Congress. Roll Call has created this website to continue its unorthodox reporting in another format that reaches a wider audience. Instead of tracking issues and legislation, the newspaper and site cover "the three Ps: people, politics, and process." Hard-nosed reporting on money trails and scandals is accompanied by insiders gossip and humor pieces. At the site, users can view news scoops, commentary, and policy briefings, as well as the Roll Call confidential files. Some features in the last issue include a list of the 50 richest Congress members and the states with the most clout in Congress. Additional resources at the site include a 1998 Election Map and a searchable Capitol Hill Directory.
