Grey House Publishing Acquires Hudson's Washington News Media Contacts Directory

MILLERTON, N.Y., March 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Grey House Publishing and Penn Hill Publications, based in Waltham, MA, announce the purchase by Grey House of Hudson's Washington News Media Contacts Directory. In addition to publishing the 2008 edition of Hudson's Washington News Media Contacts Directory, Grey House is also proud to announce a brand new companion directory, Washington Associations Contacts Directory.

In 1968, Howard Penn Hudson completed years of work and published the first edition of Hudson's Directory. It was the first effort to put together, in one source, an organized listing of Washington's news media. In 1985, a copy of Hudson's was placed in the cornerstone of the National Press Building. Enhanced and expanded through the years, it has become the source of information for data on Washington's news media.

Now in its forty-first edition, Hudson's Washington News Media Contacts Directory, 2008 provides immediate access to over 4,000 need-to-know contacts within Washington's newspapers, syndicates, radio contacts, magazines and newsletters. The directory is the most detailed, comprehensive and current reference source available for media contacts in the DC area.

Hudson's Washington News Media Contacts Directory is the gateway to the Washington Press Corps -- the largest concentration of journalists in the world. The 3,900+ entries are arranged into easy-to-use sections, including state-by-state listings of radio, TV stations and newspapers represented in Washington, news bureaus, specialized news services & syndicates, Canadian & foreign media, freelance writers & photographers, along with general and specialized magazines, periodicals and newsletters. This easy-to-navigate format, combined with the organization name and executive indexes, allows the user to find the information they need quickly and easily.

Washington Associations Contacts Directory, available for the first time, brings together all of the associations in the Washington metro area, including Virginia and Maryland, into one easy-to-use source. With coverage of nearly 100 different subject areas, from Aviation to Education, Biotechnology to Telecommunications, this directory provides immediate access to Washington's non-profit sector. Listings contain complete contact information, key contacts, a list of the association's publications, email addresses, web sites and a description of the association.

Together, these two directories (also available in online databases) supply invaluable information to associations, businesses, professionals, educators, public relations firms, embassies, government offices, labor unions, consultants, researchers, libraries and many more.

The 2008 editions are scheduled to come off press in mid-March 2008.
