As you may have heard, Nathan Lee has been "abruptly laid off" by the Village Voice and is now, "as they say, looking for work, though presumably not as a staff film critic as such jobs no longer appear to exist." The quotes come from "an email to colleagues" passed along by Reeler ST VanAirsdale, who notes that "New York newspapers have now lost four full-time film critics in the last month." If you have any interest in the implications here at all, you ll want to check the threads running at the Reeler and the House Next Door. For example, Matt Zoller Seitz writes, "I think we re fast approaching the point where criticism will become, for the most part, a devotion rather than a job."
