It’s the end of an era in sports journalism. The Washington Post has laid off one-third of its staff, eliminating its sports section, several foreign bureaus and its books coverage. The widespread purge announced Wednesday is a brutal blow to journalism and one of its most legendary brands. Tim Crothers is a former writer for Sports Illustrated and a best-selling author based out of Chapel Hill. He joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the end of the Washington Post sports coverage.
