Last week, when the Times announced a shakeup of its arts desk that
involved reassigning four of its criticsof theatre, TV, pop music, and
classical musicto other roles, the reaction in the media and arts
worlds was one of dismay. Even more disturbing than the personnel
moves, though, was the reasoning given by the papers culture editor,
Sia Michel, in her memo about the decision, which couched the move in
terms of an ongoing effort to expand the Times cultural coverage
beyond the traditional review. There are many worthwhile ways to write
about the arts, but her sniping at reviews suggests a faux expansion
that would actually be a grave diminution. Michels desire for a
variety of formats, including video, is well founded but one-sided;
the practice of criticism should be as wide-ranging as possible and
constantly growing, but it shouldnt lose its center, which is the
written review.
