Not sure where this belief that The Athletic isn't local journalism comes from ? It's just a different form of distribution...and one that people pay for so tends to attract a better journalist than all the free rubbish.Do you really beleave the board are passing on information to the Athletic and totally ignoring local sources?.
Rather short sighted of the board really as most fans are local and ignoring local journos would be a bit silly.
The Athletic's journalist who covers us goes to all the games and seems to write solely about us. For me hes a local journalist but with a much wider distribution network as The Athletic is read worldwide. The articles are far more in depth than anything in The Star including one today on United World and the French club we recently bought.
