Personally I like McLane but the purge of all the veteran beat writers will inevitably lessen the quality of the information fans get. We beach about "the media" (whatever that means anymore) but in fact, trained, experienced journalists are indispensable. I think Marc Narducci and Ed Barkowitz took the buyout as well. The heard is thinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weko Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Just went back to Philly for a wedding this weekend. i stopped at Wawa for my morning coffee and grabbed a Daily News. The paper cost $2.95. I was stunned. it was thin and the last time I bought it i think it was 75 cents. On the way out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit I'm going to miss the traditional sports beat writer once they're all extinct, but it's a massively shifting tide that's not going to stop any time soon. I do hope we get some sort of respectable local sports journalism in the new media landscape, but not sure market forces will support it. If they do, I see markets like Philly, Boston, New York and Chicago being the type of markets who will as they have rabid fanbases who appreciate a local perspective. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The printing isn't the point - good content can thrive on any platform and most major media outlets have robust digital platforms these days. But getting people to pay for digital content after they've been getting it for free forever is tough. And the quality platforms that pay their employees a living wage are limited. Yes the big markets will be able to support quality journalism to some degree but what about the midsized towns? Tough going. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been exceptions over the years (obviously that comment includes the previous Eagles-sponsored MBs). I see nothing wrong with allowing posts on those that have covered this team for so many years … they are just as (if not more) relevant than many players that have suited up here. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attrition of people who write and cover the Birds means something to people who liked reading their columns. Columns that Talked About The Eagles. TATE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local paper had someone near the entrance giving away free papers and of course encouraging people to subscribe. Even at free, he didn't appear to be having much luck. SWMBO had been a subscriber to that paper for years (decades) and even did some work as a stringer for them. She dropped the subscription about 4-5 years ago. They were moving toward partisan in their coverage after being pretty evenhanded. She wasn't paying for that. That paper had been acquired by a larger publisher some years ago which may have played a role in their editorial decisions. Whatever the reason they lost a long time subscriber. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
