Reporters Battle It Out on Capitol Hill

The tug of war for prime office space is one of Washington’s oldest contact sports. So, with thousands of square feet of territory opening up in the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC), it’s no surprise that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) last year found herself refereeing a turf war.

What was unusual was that the combatants were the reporters who usually cover her.

Print reporters were irritated by the vast new acreage in the CVC granted to the Radio and Television Gallery.
