LISTENER CUTS BACK ON THEATRE REVIEWS Here is a statement from Guy Somerset, Books & Culture Editor, New Zealand Listener, dated 23 May 2012: ... with finite space and resources, we have to ensure we focus on the things our readers value most, which, first and foremost, time and time again, has proven to be our books coverage. We, of course, continue to cover the other arts – and do so with a rarely matched breadth, utilising New Zealand’s best critics and arts writers. However, we must be selective about what we write about, to ensure a fair distribution of coverage across pop and classical music, film, visual art, theatre, dance, etc, while also recognising we are a national magazine and need to provide something for readers everywhere. In order to achieve this, we are dialling back our theatre reviews, but will continue to review the most important productions and those where reviews will resonate with readers beyond the productions’ local audiences.
