History
For most of its life, ''Governing'' was published by Washington, D.C.–based
Congressional Quarterly, Inc., a subsidiary of the Times Publishing Co. of
St. Petersburg, Florida. In 1994, ''Governing'' acquired its primary competitor, ''
City & State'' magazine, and that publication was merged into ''Governing.'' In 2009, it was sold to
e.Republic.
On August 7, 2019, the magazine announced that it would discontinue publication, with its September 2019 issue its last print edition. At first, it announced an intention to close its website and other operations. However, it later relaunched as a website with a new focus: "what state and local government looks like in a world of rapidly advancing technology." The website adopted a new subtitle, renaming itself ''Governing: The Future of States and Localities.''
