Just a quick PSA; Mark Zuckerman, who’s covered the Nats since Day 1 via several different outlets, is back out on his own after MASN cut him loose last month.
He’s now trying the same thing this year that he did in 2009; a subscriber-based model for his coverage. He’s fired back up the old natsjournal.com site, with a substack affiliation, and he’s heading to Palm Beach to cover spring training.
Here’s his organizational post. In the wake of MASN cutting loose its beat reporters and now the Washington Post gutting/eliminating its sports department … there’s precious little Nats coverage in the industry.
I have no affiliation with Zuckerman, but I have always liked his stuff. I just subscribed to his feed to help support him, and I’d encourage you to do the same. I think the loss of Zuckerman would be a huge blow to Nats journalism and hope he can continue. I hope you consider doing the same.
