Summary
The Hill on Wednesday unveiled Hill Insider, a paid digital membership with a $5.99 monthly basic tier and $9.99 premium tier, while keeping its main news site free.
The new service adds newsletters, live interactive video calls and other premium features aimed at highly engaged political readers and at building a meaningful new revenue stream.
Bill Sammon, The Hill’s senior vice-president for editorial content, said the outlet is profitable and has benefited from heightened interest in Washington coverage during the second Trump administration.
The launch extends a quieter growth story at the Washington publication, which Nexstar bought for $130 million in 2021 and which still delivers its print edition to every member of Congress.
