      <![CDATA[Old Col. Blethen never liked any art and actively tried to kill both Cornish and the Seattle Symphony so it is no surprise that they would eliminate the Art Critic and Classical Music Critic positions. If Frank cannot turn the paper around it will go under. I am betting that his type A personality will do just that and in 18 months at the least or 5 years at the most.

      <![CDATA[It's because major theatre companies purchase advertising, whereas major art galleries don't.<br />
<br />
I expect it's also due in part to the fact that theatre productions open year-round, with several new offerings available on a weekly basis, whereas art galleries all turn over their exhibitions at pretty much the same time each month.  It's a matter of throughput: one theatre critic can review two or three shows a week every week all year long, but one fine art reviewer, no matter how many gallery openings they manage to attend on First Thursday would be doing write-ups on showings two or three weeks old by the time they got around to publishing everything of note.

      <![CDATA[Why a theater critic and not an art critic?<br />
<br />
Simple - Blethen needs to be able to write off the theatre box seats and give them to his comrades using your tax dollars.<br />
<br />
Next question?

      <![CDATA[I think you are imputing too much actual intention to the Times decisions.  It would be hard to find any organization as poorly managed as the Seattle Times.  Hate to lose any newspaper, even a bad one, but it is inevitable that the Times will go out of business.
