Standalone book review is endangered at WP, other papers

Wall Street Journal
When the Los Angeles Times folds its book review into a new section that combines books with opinion pieces, only five newspapers will have separate book-review sections. "A book-review section is a small but important symbol of the support of literacy," says Jim Warren, Chicago Tribune's managing editor/features. He doesn't understand why many New York-based publishers decline to advertise in smaller regional papers. "To say there wouldn't be a benefit to advertising in one of the last standalone sections in a vibrant bookselling city is an absurdity too gross to be insisted upon."
