Mets Beat Writer Adam Rubin Was Ready for a Change

He has shifted to a communications role with the New York Institute of Technology

Word of Adam Rubin’s transition away from full-time baseball writing first came in February via social media. After 15 years as a New York Mets beat writer for ESPN and the Daily News, he was moving to the PR side.

This week, The Campus Slate, the student newspaper from that PR side, has some good insight into what Rubin has started accomplishing for the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) athletics department. But it is a piece, recently, in between, that is most revealing from a journalism point of view.

Although Rubin was already contemplating a career shift from his end, he was let go by ESPN.
