**DCist secured two editors to its masthead ahead of its upcoming rebirth**, states MediaPost, which added that local news sites *Gothamist, LAist* and *DCist* were shut down last fall, but then [acquired by local radio affiliates earlier this year](https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/315074/3-local-radio-stations-to-resurrect-gothamist.html?ref=capitolcommunicator.com). Washington public radio station WAMU acquired *DCist* in February and has announced that editor-in-chief **Rachel Sadon** and associate editor **Rachel Kurzius** are returning to their previous roles. Former staff writer **Christina Sturdivant** will also regularly contribute to *DCist*.

““Rest assured, we plan to stick to our promise of a “spring” relaunch — we’ll share the precise date as soon as it’s final,” an email to *DCist* subscribers reads.

*“DCist* grew to an audience of more than 700,000 readers before it was shuttered,” stated MediaPost.
