C-SPAN said Thursday it will regularly start using National Journal reporters and editors in its congressional campaign coverage.

That will include appearances on Washington Journal, adding context to simulcasts of over 100 Senate and House debates on local TV stations, and revealing the latest National Journal poll results on C-SPAN's air.

The Journal will also let C-SPAN in on how the political sausage-making process is covered, with live and taped coverage of its editorial meetings with candidates.
