The New York Times is disbanding its sports department and will rely on coverage from The Athletic, a San Francisco-based website it acquired last year for $550 million.
The decision impacts more than 35 people in the sports department, according to The New York Times. Journalists on the sports desk will move to other roles within the newsroom and no layoffs are planned.
Sports writers for The New York Times have won several Pulitzer Prizes over the years, including Arthur Daley in 1956 in the column,"Sports of the Times;" Walter Wellesley Smith in 1976 for commentary and Dave Anderson in 1981 for commentary.
