Checkmate for "NY Times" Chess Column

Today I sent this e-mail to danielle.rhoades-ha@nytimes.com.

Danielle: 

I am a national master and chess blogger.  Is it really true that The New York Times is "considering eliminating the chess column in order to keep freelance costs in line," as another blogger has reported?  Please advise.

[Update from Danielle: "Yes, that is correct.  A final decision has not been made yet, though."]
