The shuttering this month of Pacific Standard, an award-winning media site, is alarming because it did everything right. As IP's Mike Scutari reports, its fatal weakness is one shared by many other nonprofits: overreliance on a single benefactor. bit.ly/2MrczoX Nick Jackson

On my final day Pacific Standard I’m feeling nostalgic, so I wanted to share some favorite moments and stories. Think of it as a memorial to a job that I loved and that helped me grow as an editor and a person.

Here is that Post It. Written in my first few months Pacific Standard. Pretty simple formula, actually. #editors

.Pacific Standard’s last newsletter got me. I will miss this amazing magazine.

I've always wanted to be in the The New York Times and mentioned alongside the wonderful work of Topic and Anna Holmes, though this is not exactly how I was envisioning it... nytimes.com/2019/08/17/bus…

The The New York Times on the closing of Pacific Standard and Topic. I didn't work with @cncep but this is exactly how I tried to run our news coverage so it's still giving me feelings nytimes.com/2019/08/17/bus…

Here’s the The New York Times on Pacific Standard: nytimes.com/2019/08/17/bus…

One small bright spot this week is that grist is taking over the Pacific Standard archive, and will work to keep it available to the public, and free; even though we haven't published in 10 months, the archive still brings in ~1 million people/month: axios.com/newsletters/ax…

There’s not a lot of good news right now, especially not in the media world. But here’s one positive story: Pacific Standard, the award-winning magazine that unexpectedly closed last year has a new home. grist.org/climate/grist-… 1/7

Amid all the grim, some good news in the journalism world! Thank you grist for keeping Pacific Standard alive.

Amid all the upheavals in journalism, I hate it when the hard work of writers, editors, etc., disappears from public view. At minimum, grist's acquisition of Pacific Standard will preserve the amazing clips of its contributors. But there's more to come. grist.org/climate/grist-…

Some happy news: Like many Pacific Standard staffers, I've worried about what would happen to psmag.com and the many still-relevant stories hosted there. Today grist is announcing it's acquired PS & committed to maintaining the archives: grist.org/climate/grist-…

Thankful to grist for this. There's some solace in learning that Pacific Standard is still reaching a million readers a month, that all those still-relevant social and environmental justice stories are still informing people.
