No reason now Ein can’t still hire these people and rebuild his reputation as a guy who actually cares about local media.
(Media) SCOOP: Weeks ago, the owner of the Washington City Paper had offered to purchase The Washington Post's sports and local sections, keeping their desks alive.
The Post reporters were laid off and the desks were shut down instead.

I wish more people on this website would share 1) place-bound info 2) about stuff they are experiencing 3) in real life. Takes and reactions and discourse is great and all, but, like, tell me you saw a cool dog in Columbia Heights and I’m far more appreciative

the thing about the Post layoffs is that there's been no promise to 'do more with less' or 'unlock efficiencies.' it's just 'we're going to hollow ourselves out for some reason. please keep reading' and I don't see how that's going to maintain subscribers, much less add them

one of the things I've been thinking a lot about lately as both an elder millennial and washingtonian is that the *absolute best case scenario* is us spending the latter half of our working lives building anew replacement institutions and organizations for the ones currently being dismantled

Hey #BikeDC, as of 9pm there's a water main break or something on the MBT behind City State, basically converting the trail to a stream. Not passable. I called @dcwater.bsky.social to report it, but I had to tell them the trail is DDOT, not DPR. Who else do I loop in to get this elevated?
