New York Times Cancels Partnership With Texas Tribune

New York Times Cancels Partnership With Texas Tribune

Missed this bit of news Friday: The New York Times is canceling its four year partnership with the Texas Tribune, Tribune editor Evan Smith announced Friday morning. That means those of you who enjoyed the two-page Texas section in your NYT subscription will have to do without. In a curious flip of sorts, if you're a Dallas Morning News subscriber, now you'll get a bit of the NYT in your local paper. It's too bad this partnership is going; it appeared like a promising model, a non-profit journalism outfit allowing for deeper coverage of the state in the nation's paper of record. But, as is so often the case these days, the partnership was an expendable line item in an ever-contracting budget.
