Campaign in defense of book review coverage growing

May 01 2007

The campaign to have the Atlanta Journal-Constitution rescind its decision to let book editor Teresa Weaver go and cut back on book coverage has led to thousands of people signing a petition to "protect Atlanta's book review."  The cutbacks at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and at other papers across the country have prompted several stories in defense of book reviewing and coverage. Yesterday's Los Angeles Times ran a piece by author Michael Connelly called "The Folly of Downsizing Book Reviews," a headline that speaks for itself.
