Publishers Weekly reports on the imminent closure of the standalone Sunday book review section in the Los Angeles Times. Nancy Sullivan, executive director of corporate communications at the paper, confirmed that the book review staff has been cut from five to three and that, moving forward book review coverage will be placed in the Calendar section of the paper where it will share space with features. Despite the folding of the section, the long
running Los Angeles Times Festival of Books is expected to continue.
Publishers Weekly also reports that the books editor at the Hartford Courant, Carole Goldberg, was laid off today in a round of cutbacks at the Connecticut
newspaper. Both the Los Angeles Times and Hartford Courant are owned by the Tribune company, which is America's second-largest newspaper
publisher in terms of revenue and No. 3 in total circulation.
