 Critical mass: CanWest and its critics - Point Of View - CanWest Global Communications Corp - Editorial TAKE ONE - Find ...
In one of her columns last March, the Toronto Star's media guru Antonia Zerbisias sounded an early alarm bell: CanWest Global Communications, owners of the biggest daily newspaper chain in the country, was planning on nixing a number of its regional arts critics and replacing them with centralized drones, she reported.
And, according to sources within CanWest, the decision to hire them as more or less national film correspondents came after film critics from across CanWest's daily empire were asked to apply for the positions.
I confess, it feels odd to complain about CanWest's canning a bunch of their critics; the chain (previously named Southam) has a long and rather disgusting history of treating arts reporting as something to be tolerated, rather than fostered.
