This is going to do nothing but slightly slow the collapse of both of these newspapers:

In the Dallas and Fort Worth daily newspapers, there will no longer be separate reviews of many cultural organizations and events. The two city papers, the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, have begun running the same review by the same writer. It's the latest development in what has been a series of cutbacks affecting area arts reporting and reviewing. With newspapers across the country facing serous financial problems, maintaining an individual, local critic's voice is no longer a priority, even when the arts in question are locally based.

Don't they see? If the same reviews run in both papers, it makes both papers look worse. Without a distinct critical voice, they're both just going to be AP reprint organs with (I'll presume) slightly different editorial slants. And they will go out of business because they will both not matter equally.
