Readers of the Chicago Tribune have come to know sportswriter Teddy Greenstein over the last two-plus decades for his coverage of golf and the Big Ten. But if they want his insights on The Masters or his weekly college football picks, they ll no longer find them in their local paper. They ll have to look, instead, to the tweets and videos Greenstein makes for PointsBet, the sports-betting company where he started recently as senior editor.
Over the last decade, the Tribune, like many media outlets big and small, has hemorrhaged jobs. This summer, in the midst of the pandemic, there were furloughs, casting its future in ever shakier terms. Greenstein headed for what looked like greener pastures, pegging his career squarely on the future of legal sports gambling.
