The End of the Affair.

This article reports that many newspapers are dispensing with their own film critics to save money. In 2007, Tampa, Atlanta, Fort Lauderdale and Denver, papers have bought out, laid off or reassigned their movie critics. Newspapers across the country are under intense financial pressure and many are responding by cutting their arts staffs and focusing on local stories. Some longtime critics being bought out include Robert Denerstein of the "Rocky Mountain News" and Eleanor Ringel Gillespie of the "Atlanta Journal-Constitution."
