Washington Times sports section prints for last time Friday

Newspapers are doomed either way.

I know, my wife has worked for Knight Ridder (Now McClatachy) since 1985 and budget restraints are beginning to take their toll. Fortunately, she'll be retiring in 2012.

I wonder what Thom Loverro is going to do now? He is always advertising on the radio for the Washington Times. It really is bad when you don't have a sports section. They could have cut something else, I am sure but I guess that was probably the most costly. With the internet cutting into to so much of the media, this what happens when you can get the information faster than waiting for a day for it.

Washington Times has been bleeding cash forever. Sucks to be let go during the holidays but everyone there knew the writing was on the wall.

That's the only section I read in that pile of a paper. I wonder if the Post brings O'Halloran on or if he moves elsewhere.

They've already cut their weekend editions. Rumor is they will completely shut down in 2010 and be online only.

I hope you're wrong, but I'm afraid you're not. I always like the sports in the Times better than the Post.

It is more likely they will shut down completely.

The Times is owned by the Unification Church of Sun Yung Moon. The church is hemorrhaging money and is dissolving many of its businesses in order to stay solvent.

That's the only section I read in that pile of a paper. I wonder if the Post brings O'Halloran on or if he moves elsewhere.

hope they do i'd hate to lose him completely in this area he is really good, i always loved when he was on 106.7, he is just like steinburg though, they have a voice for paper if you know what i mean

Elfin and Daly have many fine colleagues, and I don't mean to slight them, but they're the ones I know best from the paper. A better correspondent than Elfin I never had in my years as the "Inside the NFL'' columnist at the magazine. He's battled Redskins management toe to toe over the years but never gave an inch, and I thought it was classy that Dan Snyder gave Elfin a Redskins jersey with his name on the back on his last day covering the team after 18 years. Good luck to all in finding work in this writer-eating business

Very nice gesture from Snyder. With everything else going on, its nice to know Snyder took the time to do this.

Too bad it's not pft.com that's going away.

A one newspaper town. Pathetic.
