Davina Morgan-Witts, BookBrowse editor
Over the last few years we've seen virtually all newspapers cutting back on their book coverage and, according to the National Book Critics Circle (NBCC), all but two have now closed their standalone book review sections. One of the remaining bastions of the book world is the Washington Post which first introduced the standalone 'Book World' section to
its Sunday edition in 1972. But this literary stalwart appears to be crumbling. According
to the NBCC's blog
Critical Mass, a reliable source at the Washington Post
says that "among the budgetary recommendations new editor Marcus
Brauchli is making to his board is the elimination of 'Book
World'."
