Sindy Cuts Arts Coverage

[CAP]

Reported in The Guardian of course, all very straight-faced. But The Independent on Sunday is obviously feeling the pinch. 27 freelancers cut from the payroll. Charles Darwent shown the door. Not that I was much of a fan, but the opportunity for reviews - even stupid, totally wrong reviews - is nevertheless diminished.

Lisa Markwell, editor of the Independent on Sunday, said the paper will still feature an arts section but that it will not be led by reviews.

Instead it will be led by ads.
