For that story, Byers was a finalist in the 2014 Mirror Awards competition for Best Single Article in Digital Media.

In his editor’s note, Dylan said “PACIFIC is the newsletter for the Innovation Economy. It puts the power players in tech and media at the center of the action, and covers their moves and their interests, because those moves and interests signal where society is headed, it treats Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles not as cities on the periphery, but as capitals of the 21st Century. It works on Pacific Standard Time.”
