Makeover In Store for The Hill's Press Release Wire, er, Blog

Sorry, Hill press secretaries. It looks like The Hill's Congress Blog -- currently a pretty lame venue for you to repackage your boss' press releases as "blog postings" -- may be in for a makeover.

Mike Grass at the Express reports that The Hill has hired blogger Rob Capriccioso to "improve and dazzle" CongressBlog, presumably including adding some original reporting, gossip and other content. In the meantime, Capriccioso is shutting down his personal blog.
