History

20th century

Government Executive's first issue, published in March 1969, featured a formal portrait of Richard Nixon and the headline: "What Government Can Expect from President Nixon". In 1987, the magazine was acquired by the National Journal Group, which was acquired a decade later by David G. Bradley, a businessman. [4]

In 1999, Bradley bought The Atlantic Monthly magazine and renamed his company Atlantic Media. [5]

21st century

In 2007, Government Executive's information technology reporting was spun off into a new publication: NextGov, which covers technology and the future of government. In 2013, the company founded Defense One, which covers emerging national security issues. [6] [7] In 2015, it founded Route Fifty, which covers ideas in state and local government. [8] The four publications, plus an associated events division and the Studio 2G content marketing division, [9] became known as Government Executive Media Group.

In 2020, Atlantic Media sold Government Executive Media Group to Growth Catalyst Partners, a private-equity firm. [10] In 2021, City & State was acquired by Government Executive Media Group. [11]

In 2021, longtime editor-in-chief Tom Shoop stepped down and was replaced by Tanya Ballard Brown, most recently of NPR. [12]

In 2021, GovExec also acquired 1105 Media Inc's Public Sector 360 Group, including Federal Computer Week and Washington Technology . [13]
