[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a journalist who freelanced for the Post for years, shifting sections as they were discontinued. I lost my last gig there at the end of 2025.

They had already decimated local coverage and now it sounds like it will be nearly nonexistent. The Banner isn’t perfect, but its reporters come from some fairly big news outlets. At least it isn’t all just rehashed press releases like MoCoShow, which can be helpful for learning about local news quickly but with zero depth.

Any suggestions for local Substack newsletters or blogs? I’m no longer on X, which is where I got some. local news before Musk. I cut way back on Amazon purchases. [/quote]

CityCast (newsletter and podcast) just announced today, based on WP layoffs,  it is expanding local DC coverage:

"We are expanding our local D.C. newsroom.

Starting now, we’re investing in four additional editorial staff to deepen our coverage of D.C. You’ll still get the daily podcast and newsletter you love — and you’ll also see new reporters breaking news about what’s happening across D.C. They’ll help us help drive the city’s daily conversation by explaining what’s going on, why it matters, and by holding those in power to account at a critical moment for the city."[/quote]

Great - thanks for sharing this.[/quote]
