U.S. newspaper coverage of the Paris Olympics

[Mr. X]

What U.S. newspapers are staffing the Paris Olympics?

Here are three to start -- the Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post.

I don't consider The Athletic a newspaper and I don't consider it The New York Times. I believe the terminology is "wholly owned subsidiary of The New York Times."

Conversely, what U.S. newspapers that customarily staff the Summer Olympics aren't this year?

Thought this could be another gauge of where at least some newspapers are financially.

Looks like Kevin Sherrington is there for The Dallas Morning News.

First time in 50 years, their current Olympic writer was given no explanation, had covered every olympics since 1998

 

[playthrough]

Surely they wouldn't pull that **** for a Winter Olympics, because Minnesota.

I know Juliet Macur is there for the Times, so it looks like they're NOT totally relying on The Athletic ...

Ann Killion's there for the SF Chronicle.
Tara Sullivan's there for the Boston Globe.
Linda Robertson's there for the Miami Herald.
Nancy Armour's there for USA Today.

Fantastic story on Simone Biles. Thanks for the free link.

Mark Kiszla is there for at least the Denver Gazette and Colorado Springs Gazette.

Denver Post is not there.

The Star Ledger once again sent Steve Politi. Unfortunately. https://www.nj.com/entertainment/20...ck-er-medal-of-the-paris-olympics-politi.html

 

[Typist Clerk]

The Chicago Tribune has two reporters in Paris.

Ann Killion's there for the SF Chronicle.
Tara Sullivan's there for the Boston Globe.
Linda Robertson's there for the Miami Herald.
Nancy Armour's there for USA Today.

Ron Kroichick also there for the Chronicle.

Salt Lake Tribune sent Julie Jag. And in a stroke of brilliance for all involved, she's also stringing for her last paper, the Santa Cruz Sentinel.

Then there's the BANG papers, which seem content to cover things from home and use AP. But about the only teams I see them on the road with lately are the 49ers and Giants

Certainly not the same thing, but their Timberwolves writer was in Las Vegas and did a couple of Timberwolves features, getting Anthony Edwards (he is also authoring a biography of Edwards on the side) from Team USA and also on his teammate Nickeil Alexander Walker (Team Canada).

The WaPo is crushing it. Les Carpenter’s takeouts are particularly well researched and written.

 

[swingline]

Norm Stewart, after Les asked about Travis Ford being out for the game and taking fluids: You ever had the ****s, Les?

Les: No.

Stewart: You look like you have.

And with that, the postgame news conference ended. TigerVols might be able to confirm.

Double Down's takeouts were pretty good too. :D

The OC Register's Scott Reid has bylines from Paris now. He didn't last weekend.

BANG does not travel with the Warriors?
