Seattle, WA, USA, July 25, 2008 (PRESSbooth.ORG) -- Grist.org, the world's leading source of environmental news and information, announced it has reached a content syndication agreement with washingtonpost.com that will provide millions of new readers with Grist's timely, relevant news and information about environmental politics, green living and other eco-focused topics.
Each week Grist.org will syndicate environmentally friendly articles to washingtonpost.com's Green section. The shared content will include a heavy dose of political coverage, including Grist's reporting on the climate and energy policies of presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain. Grist will also provide a mix of green lifestyle and entertainment content.
"Grist's partnership with washingtonpost.com will provide millions of new readers with information on everything from presidential politics to environmental regulation to sustainable living," said Chip Giller, founder and president of Grist.org. "At a time when society is increasingly focused on issues such as energy and climate change, Grist delivers the important context and fresh perspective citizens and decision makers need to make smarter choices."
"The new Green section is a destination for everything from the science and policy news driving environmental debates to innovative ideas for consumers, said Elizabeth Spayd, Editor of washingtonpost.com. "Grist.org's variety of engaging environmental news and features uniquely complements this section and provides another resource to readers."
