pjbear05 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 NYT disbands sports deparment, going with internet provider. 35 or so people affected, but they will be moved about and (allegedly) not laid off. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/10/business/media/the-new-york-times-sports-department.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's getting dire. Or, at least, what an old like me thinks is "dire." I suppose the interwebs users won't miss something they never grew to love. The NYT on-line version will crank on, just outsourcing the sports stuff, I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need an "unlike" button for content that's depressing . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you decide that you really didn’t like what you orginally liked, you click “Like” again to “Unlike” it. I suggest four choices: Love Like Dislike Hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I forsee this happening to all major newspapers. As all the old-timer sportswriters are retiring, more and more papers will follow the NYT’s lead. I really hope that I’m wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is the Athletic isn't doing well either so it may go away too. Sad story but their sports coverage wasn't so hot, they couldn't even be bothered to cover the Stanley Cup playoffs even with the Rangers in the playoffs. Wanted to talk about some strange stuff instead like pickleball wars and Brittney Spears getting smacked in the eye by a new recruit for the NBA.
