Another L.A. theater critic gets the ax | Culture Monster | Los Angeles Times:

Culture Monster just got word that longtime Los Angeles theater and arts critic Jim Farber was let go today.

Farber, whose wrote for the Daily Breeze for nearly 16 years, said the news came as a surprise to him since he reviewed and wrote nearly all features on classical music, opera and fine art, in addition to coverage of the stage.

“We’ve all got a target printed on our backs,” he said. “We arts writers –- at least in print –- are a dying breed.”
