The staff of Washingtonian covers luxury real estate, fine-dining restaurants, and some of the country’s wealthiest and most powerful people. Yet, the magazine doesn’t pay some of us a living wage to live and work in one of America’s most expensive cities. For five years of negotiations, we have been asking CEO Cathy Merrill for a salary floor of $60,000—which is actually less than $64,000 that the Economic Policy Institute considers a “modest yet adequate” income for a single adult with no children in DC. If you support local journalists making a living wage and a fair contract after five years of waiting - let Cathy know.
