The Athletic has turned into garbage since acquisition. Fired a bunch of quality beat writers and pushing politics into sports articles. I wouldn’t pay a dime for it.

Bizarre comments in here. NYT articles were mostly investigative/business stuff anyways, and usually very solid. Of course, I know *why* some people are happy about this, but they probably can’t read anyways.
Smorgas-board

I mean… This is a no brainer but nonetheless depressing as someone who had the misfortune of majoring in PRINT journalism and graduating with social media hitting the world hard less than 6 months after said graduation. But it’s the world we have now.
The telegram died eventually. Landline phones have died for many. And print media is dying.
Having a sports desk for the NYT was basically double work now that they own The Athletic. What was the point now? So it makes total sense they’d stop focusing on the print, re route it all to an app based service etc.
This isn’t a win for “owning the libs”. It’s just a company seeing how they can save money
