DCist / WAMU
U.S. center-left
DCist was a local digital news site covering Washington, D.C., operated by WAMU 88.5 FM, a public radio station owned by American University. It carried a center-left editorial orientation consistent with NPR-affiliated public radio, focusing on local politics, housing, transportation, and culture. DCist was shut down in February 2024; WAMU continues to operate and its coverage of the Trump second-term administration has leaned broadly critical.
