Reluctant Habits » goldberg-carole http://www.edrants.com a cultural website in ever-shifting standing Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:42:21 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Carole Goldberg Laid Off at the Courant http://www.edrants.com/carole-goldberg-laid-off-at-the-courant/ http://www.edrants.com/carole-goldberg-laid-off-at-the-courant/#comments Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:01:27 +0000 Edward Champion http://www.edrants.com/?p=7834 I have confirmed with Hartford Courant features editor Naedine Hazell that books editor Carole Goldberg has been laid off. Goldberg’s final day as a staffer will be on July 31st. It should be noted that the Courant never had a specific books section. The Courant maintained a books page inside the Sunday Arts section. While the Courant plans to keep the books page for now, future books coverage remains uncertain. Goldberg may be contributing in a freelancing capacity. The Courant hopes that this reorganization will shift current arts coverage to a more local emphasis.

One wonders whether this news will set a trend of other newspapers laying off their dedicated arts editors, only to rehire them as freelancers at, one presumes, a reduced rate.
