Cincinnati Enquirer Lays Off Last Of Its Arts Critics

Classical music writer Janelle Gelfand was the last of the Enquirer’s arts writers to go. At its peak, the Enquirer had a theater, art, movie, food, classical, pop, and books critics, each with their own beats. The move comes only weeks before the city’s Music Hall was to reopen after a major makeover. Gelfand was leading coverage of the reopening.
