Dear reader,

We have some good news! https://t.co/eshCp9xEV3

[Becca Worby @beccaworby]

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

[Karen Coates @RamblingSpoon]

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

[Francie Diep @franciediep]

Some happy news: Like many @PacificStand staffers, I've worried about what would happen to https://t.co/ibGOwKY3aa and the many still-relevant stories hosted there. Today @grist is announcing it's acquired PS & committed to maintaining the archives: https://t.co/pFtjimnnGy

[No one @not00ts]

There’s not a lot of good news right now, especially not in the media world. But here’s one positive story: @PacificStand, the award-winning magazine that unexpectedly closed last year has a new home. https://t.co/ofp5P2bMzM 1/7

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 @PacificStand will preserve the amazing clips of its contributors.

But there's more to come.

One small bright spot this week is that @grist is taking over the @PacificStand 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: https://t.co/ww3SP52tmU

I've always wanted to be in the @nytimes and mentioned alongside the wonderful work of @topicstories and @AnnaHolmes, though this is not exactly how I was envisioning it... https://t.co/BceJ445cE9

On my final day @PacificStand 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.

[Jennifer Sahn 🌻 @throwin_shadows]

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

.@PacificStand’s last newsletter got me. I will miss this amazing magazine.

[Becca Worby @beccaworby]

The @nytimes on the closing of @PacificStand and @topicstories. 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 https://t.co/Neta3rLtmo

Here’s the @nytimes on @PacificStand: https://t.co/62GsubLf6p

Australian plant ecologist Brenton Ladd wants to reengineer the notoriously nutrient-poor soils in the Amazon, and, in the process, save the world's trees. https://t.co/xiH5zMNi4N @KateWheeling

Un extraordinario esfuerzo de @PacificStand realizar esta versión en español sobre la realidad de los niños y jóvenes que producen las frutas y verduras que llegan a nuestra mesa. @IWMF @TedGenoways @RamblingSpoon Pronto más en @radiobilingue #Bilingualjournalism #bridging

Se calcula que 524,000 niños trabajan inimaginables largas horas en los agotadores campos agrícolas de Estados Unidos, y todo es perfectamente legal. https://t.co/k3JVaoKY5b @RamblingSpoon @valfernandez

[Inside Philanthropy @InsidePhilanthr]

The shuttering this month of @PacificStand, 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. https://t.co/RDlGd7ERKz

What do you do when your parents refuse to let you get vaccinated? Ask the Internet.
