Lobbying firm Quinn Gillespie is the latest to add a journalist to its ranks. The firm announced it expanded its strategic and public affairs practice by bringing in Matt Dornic as a director of QGA Communications.

The firm also purchased Dornic's media strategy firm, 3 Dog Agency, which he founded at the end of 2007. Before 3 Dog Agency, Dornic was the manager of media relations and creative services for Anystream Inc. where he spearheaded client, partner and corporate communication initiatives.

He is a former broadcast journalist, the co-editor of mediabistro's FishbowlDC blog and a columnist for Capitol File magazine.

Last month, lobbying firm BGR brought on former lobbying reporter Jeff Birnbaum, to head up its communications practice.
