They've had to lay off half of their reporters and get by on a skeleton crew. And though I agree in principle that ads are not the reason people buy the paper, they are what make the papers possible. And as ad revenues move ever away to the new media, the old is withering on the vine. The printed newspaper is, alas, the buggy whip of our age, and as subscriber bases dwindle, and advertisers look elsewhere, more and more papers will vanish from newsstands. And, as is so often the case, the arts and entertainment are considered to be non-essential and are thus relegated to 'first on the chopping block' status. Remember when you could average together Hap Erstein's hatred of all but Florida Stage plays, with Jack Zinc's love of all that tread the boards to get a good idea of the reality of a show? Now it may be up to bloggers to give reviews of shows. It's not a good solution, but as the pulp industry slowly fades away, it may be the only option.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452924829161040975noreply@blogger.com
