Clubbed by NYT, Bridge Columnist No Longer Has Any Need to Heart Print Edition
The 80-year-run of Albert H. Morehead, Alan Truscott and Phillip Alder is coming to an end.
Phillip Alder wants to be clear. His plans to cancel his subscription to the New York Times print edition, after his final bridge column runs this weekend, is not a retaliatory move. Rather, as he explains to The Observer’s Matthew Kassel, it’s a matter of practicality:
“I needed the subscription because I wanted to get clippings of my columns,” Mr. Alder said. “I get most of my news information from TV.”
On the other hand, friends and supporters of the British-born Alder, who has been writing the Bridge column for ten years, very much want people like us to know that their NYT cancellations are retaliatory.
