    Are Book Reviewers Out of Print? - Newspapers - New York Times

    Wow, it's a shame to see that book reviewers and editors are being cut left and right. I think local papers have their own take on authors/books that larger wire services could never match. Well, I guess this is another aspect of journalism where the most in-depth work is going to be done by bloggers.

    Quoted: All across the country, newspapers are cutting book sections or running more reprints of reviews from wire services or larger papers.

    This is so great! My children's book teacher started a blog where she interviews other authors/illustrators. I found out that one of the students from my class just got published - he illustrated a children's book on Dizzy Gillespie!

    Quoted: For my first interview in this space, I am very pleased to introduce Susanna Pitzer! Big congratulations: Not Afraid of Dogs, written by her and illustrated by Larry Day, just won a Golden Kite Award ! This is a prestigious award given by the Society of Children's Book Authors and Illustrators.
