While many sites are dumping writers for video, The Athletic is going the complete opposite route and finding success. They just raised $5.8MM in VC capital. It looks like Chernin Group was one of the companies buying a stake.

I proudly subscribe to them for Scott Powers' work on the Hawks. He covers them in depth and without churning out the typical crap that the lazy bullshit beat writers *cough* Laz *cough* tend to write.

We need more publications like The Athletic and fewer assholes like the morons writing for the city's 2 papers

Uh oh, that makes them Barstool's cousins! Longform prestige journalism about how the Blackhawks are failing to embrace the trans community will be interrupted mid-paragraph by a video of El Presidente saying deep dish sucks.
