ESPN Moving Feature, Analysis Writing Behind ESPN+ Paywall

ESPN "plans to move much of its high-profile, feature-type writing and analysis content to ESPN+." The change, expected to be announced today, is intended to "further boost the direct-to-consumer ESPN+ service." It also is "in line with Disney’s recent announcement to shift its main focus to direct-to-consumer products." Sources said that breaking news and investigative pieces "will remain outside the paywall on ESPN.com, but writers who focus on insight and analysis will now primarily be available only to ESPN+ subscribers" (N.Y. POST, 10/22).
