Grist Magazine

Among Grist's program accomplishments in fy2023 were: 1. Publishing climate and sustainability news and commentary. Grist published more than 900 articles on climate and sustainability topics during the fiscal year, ranging from short news items to in-depth interviews and features. The organization reached between 1,200,000 - 1,500,000 readers per month, including website visitors, email subscribers, and offsite (primarily social-media) audiences. 2. Fostering civic engagement. Grist's goal is to create a vibrant community of people who support sustainability; make sustainable choices and encourage their communities to do the same; and encourage readers to use social media and other tools to activate their personal networks and to create lasting change. Grist on-site surveys indicate that 65-70 percent of users take action based on Grist content, making more sustainable choices in their homes and communities. 3. Train a new generation of journalists. By providing hands-on journalism experience as well as exposure to leading environmental thinkers, the Grist fellowship program trains early-career journalists to become effective environmental communicators. Grist hosts groups of five fellows for six-month terms. Fellows participate in research and story generation, crafting investigative stories and ground breaking multimedia projects. 4. Serving as a resource for other media. Grist informs and influences coverage of climate and energy in major media including the new york times, Washington post, huffington post, msnbc, politico, and vox, and has served as an expert source for msnbc, abc, nbc, cnn, and other networks. Across the country, journalists and other influencers turn to Grist for enlightenment and elaboration.
