The Washington Post recently shuttered its sports section as national papers continue scaling back daily sports coverage, with the New York Times disbanding its sports department after acquiring The Athletic in 2022 and the Los Angeles Times cutting box scores and staff in 2023. The retrenchment is accelerating growth for digital-native outlets like The Athletic and personality-driven podcasts, while reducing entry-level beats and shifting coverage toward multimedia and team-produced content.
