 A group of journalists behind the once popular news site DCist say that they're launching their own nonprofit local news company. It'll be called the 51st. That's a nod to DC's aspiration of becoming the 51st state, and it'll focus on hyper-local content for DC residents. Six former DCist staffers are behind the project, and they're in the process of gaining nonprofit status with the IRS so they can start raising the necessary funds. They need to raise about $250,000 in the next 30 days.
