The number of reviews that SunTimes does now has seemed to have dropped substantially since Hedy was ousted.

reader used to have those tiny little reviews but ever since they expanded the length of the reviews and also now seem to cover more than the rest (and a lot more of the small shows) I think they are the best for chicago

You think the number of reviews of Sun Times went down- take a look at TimeOut, they are lucky to publish one review a week. Seems like traditional publication reviews are dropping while the number of blogs that have reviews is increasing... anyone with a blog can be a critic these days.

I wasn't aware that Hedy landed over at WTTW - glad to see she is still doing reviews.

Years ago there was just the main publications but with the number of blogs/review sites these days there are a few dozen reviews on each show which might be hurting the bigger pubs and may be a reason why they are scaling back. Why pay a writer for a review when there are a ton of people that write reviews for free. Reviews no longer bring people to the newspapers when the newspapers are no longer the only place you can read about a show.
