As BroadwayWorld reported in July, long-time theatre critic Joe Dziemianowicz parted ways with the New York Daily News following reports of cuts in the publication's editorial team. Now changes are underway at the Post.
According to New York Times theatre reporter Michael Paulson, Chicago Tribune critic Chris Jones will now write reviews for both publications.
Theater media news: @NYDailyNews will publish reviews by @ChrisJonesTrib of @chicagotribune, after laying off @TheJoeDShow. Both newspapers are owned by @tronc; Chris will continue to review in both cities, now for both papers.
