Journalists' group covering state government since 1893 Created by the Ohio General Assembly in 1893 to accredit Statehouse reporters, the Ohio Legislative Correspondents Association (OLCA) spans the era from hand-set type and fountain pens to smartphones and digital news delivery. OLCA members are professional journalists whose primary duties involve news coverage of the Legislature, state agencies and officials, and Ohio politics and politicians. Nearly 50 OLCA members represent print, broadcast and cable news outlets, Statehouse news and photo services, and a host of digital news organizations. OLCA functions independently to ensure only legitimate reporters are granted floor privileges in the Ohio House of Representatives and Ohio Senate. OLCA also acts as a watchdog to preserve the rights of the public and press to access government records and meetings.
