“Recently, some newcomers to the local media circuit … are stealing some of the limelight from Washington’s old standards in local news,” says an article appearing in this week’s “Northwest Passages” section of the Current group of neighborhood D.C. papers. (Which includes the Georgetown Current and the Dupont Current) The newcomers in question are your friendly DCist writers, of course!

The story, written by reporter Julia O’Donoghue, is a good overview of what we’re about, and includes quotes from Rob, Mike, Hemal, and Kyle. Since the newspaper group doesn’t have a website you’ll have to make do with our grainy digital photo, or pick up a copy yourself.

On Monday, Dec. 27 we’ll be posting a list of top ten DCist posts of 2004. After taking a bit of a break for the next week, we’ll be back in January with more writers, features, and some site design changes.
