Disney has removed FiveThirtyEight from its digital portfolio, effectively erasing the data journalism site's online presence. The move comes as part of Disney's broader restructuring efforts, raising concerns about the preservation of digital journalism archives and the future of data-driven political analysis.
Background
FiveThirtyEight is a data journalism website founded by Nate Silver, known for its statistical analysis of politics, sports, and other topics. It was acquired by ESPN (a Disney subsidiary) in 2013 and later became part of ABC News.
