ABC News has now taken all FiveThirtyEight articles completely offline. They now redirect to abcnews dot com/politics. A needless erasure of thousands of pages of knowledge.

@pocketlin @kelsaywhat the early seasons and the music when they would merge and leave their camp behind, the rites of passage, then when they would burn their camp at the end…it hits!

and yes, the shell movie felt like it connected so deep in my soul and understood so many forms of grief. loved it

ABC News has now fully taken down the old 538 archives, including all interactive projects since 2014. Aside from erasing history this prevents access to publicly released data, including polls/models and all story data. Totally unacceptable and a real betrayal of the public

Not sure what's next for me. I'm going to take some time off but then will be looking for ways to stay in political journalism. In the meantime, please hire my fantastic colleagues, and stay in touch by signing up for my newsletter: https://t.co/OwnkPWz62E

Incredibly sad to report that ABC News is indeed eliminating 538.

I count myself incredibly lucky to have worked with such incredibly smart, kind people for 7 years. Thank you all for coming along for the ride.

[Holly Fuong @holly_fuong]

I’ve spent almost 3 years at 538 (started Pi Day 2022!), and sad to say that I and the rest of the team have been laid off.

It’s been such a journey. I’m grateful that I got to work with and learn from so many talented, kind, intelligent, and dedicated people in that time.

[Geoffrey Skelley @geoffreyvs]

Some good things do come to an end.

538/FiveThirtyEight came to an end today. My 6 years there were professionally and personally fulfilling beyond words. I want to thank all of my colleagues for making it an incredible experience and applaud all of their magnificent work.

On Wednesday, Disney decided to shut down 538 and lay off the entire staff, including me. Working with this talented, kind, fun and funny crew for the past 2 1/2 years has been a great (if way too short) ride. Fivey Fox forever!
