It is a mistake for newspapers “to do away with such things as book review sections and Sunday magazines. Our core audience is educated, well-informed, curious and generally smarter than we are – about more than a few things. Essays about books and ideas, reviews of film, theater, art and television – these are far more important for newspapers today than they ever were in the past. A great city newspaper functions as a sort of community memory and mind; it ought to capture a view of the nation and the world that is distinct, rooted in place, style, local tradition and history.”
