Representing Virginia’s legislative journalists.
The Virginia Capitol Correspondents Association is comprised of print, broadcast and online professional journalists who report on state government and politics in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The Virginia Capitol Correspondents Association is among the nation's oldest organizations advocating for journalists who cover state legislatures. The VCCA is a not-for-profit organization based in Richmond, Virginia, made up of journalists whose primary responsibility is to cover state government and the General Assembly. Its members reach millions of viewers, listeners and readers daily throughout Virginia and beyond.
The association's primary purpose is to represent the interest of its members in the pursuit of their duties in reporting on state government and advancing the ideals of free and responsible news media. The VCCA also makes recommendations on press credentials to the General Assembly for media access to the House and Senate floors and the legislative press galleries, and its officers assign available space in pressroom facilities on Capitol Square.
