A Slow Death


Like I said, I went to bed Wednesday before the end of the Bulls-Warriors game on the West Coast.  Naturally, there was no score in yesterday’s print edition.  No, I’m supposed to go to Trib website for that.  If this is the future, somebody fit the Trib for its coffin.

Today, two days after the game was played, the print edition ran an AP story while the online edition went with coverage from the Mercury News, which is a Trib property.  My point is that the Trib didn’t bother to send a beat reporter to travel with the team; fans who cared enough could read about the game from a Warriors’ beat writer.  No, thank you.
Once upon a time, the Trib had a foreign desk and Washington bureau.  Oh, and a full sports’ section.  But those days are long gone.
