This weekend’s Sunday New York Times Automobiles section will be the Gray Lady’s last the paper has decided—perhaps foolishly—for enterprise motives to no longer publish what had turn out to be, over 20 years, a weekend ritual for those of us in the enterprise and a lot of of you reading this now.
The closure hits home for us for a couple of motives. Initial, several Automobile and Driver staffers and contributors past and present had written for the section, which was edited by the estimable Jim Cobb. Second, numerous of our friends and colleagues—including, yes, Cobb—lost their jobs. The Instances will continue to publish automotive content on Fridays and in its company section, but for all intents and purposes, this is it, folks. The Instances already shuttered its automotive news blog final year.
One of our pals and frequent contributors, John Pearley Huffman, has a review of the new Ford Mustang in the final Automobiles section in which he, as he mentioned in a Facebook post, “took the opportunity to drift away from writing strictly about the 2015 Mustang and make [the] case that reviewing automobiles is something each newspaper and The Instances in distinct must be doing. Specifically if they claim to be providing any insight to American culture.” We couldn’t agree far more, Pearley. Study the assessment in its entirety here, and pick up a copy of The Times this weekend to savor the section in its entirety one final time.
