Despite its starting lineup's provenance, the 51st won't resemble DCist much, starting with delivering news via a weekly email newsletter rather than a high-tempo blog. It will be 'worker-led,' allowing the news creators to shape the direction without a traditional hierarchy of executives.
The 51st will cover topics like the cost of living in DC, service journalism, and engaging 'talkers' akin to DCist's popular articles. The focus will be on DC stories, acknowledging the artificial nature of borders between DC and surrounding areas.
