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
(

)
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.
