NY Magazine - firing Tobi Tobias

[piccolo]

I can't find the thread where we were talking about this but look what I just saw at www.artsjournal.com:

BAD MOVES: New York Magazine

miscalculated when it fired dance critic Tobi

Tobias. But the magazine has been cutting

back on space for its other critics, and some

might worry other cutbacks are in the works.

"Eliminating a major voice from an important

venue—either for budgetary reasons or to

bring in someone trendier—is not merely a

dance-world scandal, it’s a dark comment on

the priorities of today’s journalism." New York

Observer [low down in the column] 08/21/02

Thanks, piccolo. The other NYMag threads are in the Books, Magazines and Critics forum. I'm going to copy this thread over there and merge it into the other thread on the subject, then close the topic here. Thanks for finding this for us.
