Washington Post Closes Book World

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
Disheartening news in the literary world: the Washington post is shuttering its stand-alone book review section, Book World.  Book World was one of the last of its kind, and is being cannibalized by other sections because it has never generated the revenue the paper wanted.  Publishing companies generally spend very little on newspaper ads, focusing their marketing on chain booksellers like Barnes & Noble.  
Book World will remain a distinct entity online.  I hope that this means the weekly podcast survives.
