That's Peter Gammons, by the way.
"We will wait every local paper out and let them continuously bleed until we are the last ones standing," Alex Mather, a co-founder of The Athletic, said in an interview in San Francisco. "We will suck them dry of their best talent at every moment. We will make business extremely difficult for them."
Whole lot of "local papers" out there, fellas. I kinda doubt The Athletic will ravage them all.
And while I say I haven't seen a business plan where online-only presentation provides a solid bottom line, one that can support a complete newsroom, I really haven't seen a business plan where a no-ad, online-only presentation provides a solid bottom line.
