Codega will be on NPR All Things Considered tomorrow morning. Pretty sure I know which way Codega leans.
The Washington Post is reporting on the situation now
But... All Things Considered airs at 4 PM Eastern.
NPR's morning news show is Morning Edition, and airs 5 AM to 9 AM Eastern.

Doh!
Codega is on All Things Considered tomorrow. I don't know NPR's program schedule. I thought "morning" was said in an interview with roll for combat earlier today, but I may be mistaken.

The section's most prominent journalist was not among the folks the Post laid off. Games coverage continues, just not as a standalone vertical.

Or maybe it's that the feature was so poorly promoted that despite being a subscriber with an interest in its subject matter I wasn't aware it existed nor did I even quickly find it when I saw it's cancellation mentioned at the end of an article on WaPo downsizing.
But at the real heart of its problem I suspect that association with traditional media does not give a publication the imprimatur of authority on video games. WaPo game reviews just don't carry much weight with gamers. It is too bad, in as much as they are potentially much better than your typical gaming outlet at the investigative reporting side of gaming news.

Yeah, I mostly knew about the section via Twitter, where everyone in the section was very active. (True of journalists in general, of course.)
