siddious Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) "new york hockey columnist"... i assume hes going to do the isles too? Edit: My bad didnt realize there was a whole article thought it was a twitter announcement Quote The Athletic remains dedicated to giving both sets of fans great coverage of their teams. We’ll be adding another New York hockey reporter to the mix in short order. Together, we’ll dig in on the news both teams generate, have plenty of deep dives on each and pray for a playoff series between the two when springtime rolls around.

Phil Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 She is. Staple is doing double duty. They probably want one more dedicated voice, or one more double duty writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Why would you want Vince to take this job? He's better than Carp now, who apparently has never talked to players in a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He writes for a pretty small outlet, but he actually does a good job of interviewing players, interacting with fans, and writing content about the team with info from sources, stats, and his own observations. He also started a Rangers podcast that gets decent guests. He has initiative and I think if he was given the keys to a larger outlet, he could even expand his content game and more people could appreciate his work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you even make more money at the Athletic than as a paper? I have no idea...Maybe because it's subs-based? Dunno. Assuming he can't do both jobs.

Dunno. Assuming he can't do both jobs. I actually went to go look for this and it's really hard to tell because there are truly not many beat reporter jobs out there. Glassdoor suggests an average salary of 55k, but there's not enough there to really call for it. What we do know is that part of the Athletic's business model involved poaching top tier beat reporters for anywhere between 15-35% over their current annual salary and I assume still does.
