LA Times tech columnist Brian Merchant wrote about the demise Sports Illustrated and joined Lisa McRee on “LA Times Today” with more. Last fall, readers began to notice that the content in Sports Illustrated articles was not stacking up with the magazine’s previous quality. “All of these articles start popping up under the Sports Illustrated banner that are really poorly written… It’s some of the worst writing you can imagine.

Watch "LA Times Today" at 7 and 10 p.m. Monday through Friday on Spectrum News 1 and the Spectrum News app.
