Overnight notices are now showing up regularly in the print edition of The New York Times on
the inside pages of the Metro section, per the paper’s effort to perk up its arts coverage, as reported earlier.
John Rockwell’s dance review this morning on page B2, “Through a Dada Forest
…,” is only the latest. On Thursday Allan
Kozinn had a review of the New York Philharmonic on B4, and the day
before that Jeremy Eichler had one on a Philadelphia Orchestra
concert, also on B2.
How long will it be before arts organizations start complaining — if they haven’t begun to
already — that overnights on inside pages of the Metro section are, well, buried! and
they’d rather see the reviews appear in the arts section a day later, if necessary, where culture
vultures expect them?
