"Unless you've been living in happy isolation, you know that newspapers face a cascading series of problems. Declining revenues. Declining circulation. Uncertainty about the future. No need to recite the entire litany here, except by way of noting that the words 'layoffs' and 'buyouts' have appeared in far too many stories about too many newspapers lately, including this one." -- Rocky Mountain News film critic Robert Denerstein, in a piece announcing his departure due to the above factors.

It doesn't help his case to know that Denerstein was always a pretty cruddy critic - he had big-city tastes for art movies and against blockbusters but he didn't have the sensibilities or the writing chops to have anything interesting to say and consequently usually came off as cranky.

Phil,
Care to comment on how film reviewing at newspapers isn't a dying profession?

This may mean that the RMN will give into temptation to run wire-service reviews from a hackette like Christy Lemire.
