I figured we need a thread for beat writer news

Chris Kuc, formerly of the Tribune, is leaving the DC branch of The Athletic to write for the Blackhawks site

https://www.nhl.com/blackhawks/news/chr ... -307836488

Here is his farewell piece in The Athletic or perhaps the first "why I am leaving The Athletic" piece I have seen

https://theathletic.com/1024993/2019/06 ... ul-season/

These writers' pieces about leaving a publication is blight on society. Bernie Lincicome, Mike Royko, John Kass….those people who have spent decades writing for one company, they are the only ones who should doing these farewell pieces.

I'm not sure I want to live in a world where beat writers doing "why I'm leaving" pieces is a thing. You are a fucking beat writer.

Unless there is some good dirt...then, it's worth it.

But, yeah, overall, no one cares.

It's almost as bad as a "I'm quitting the board" post.
