Newsday sports section facing buyouts, travel cutbacks

Newsday is slated to be the latest New York metro newspaper to curtail its sports coverage.

The Long Island-based tabloid owned by Patrick Dolan — the brother of Madison Square Garden Entertainment CEO James Dolan — announced a buyout program at an all-hands newsroom meeting on Wednesday amid plans to heavily cut back on travel for its pro sports beats, according to two sources with knowledge of the anticipated changes at the newspaper.
