Curtains for critics?

An interesting piece in The Guardian this weekend… As US newspapers are ditching reviewers in favour of digital alternatives this article looks at and challenges the role of blogger/critique.  

I for one think there is room for everyone, seasoned pro’s can reference their many experiences for a balanced view but a novice may provide a more personal opinion that will sit more naturally with the man on  the  street…  

Finally - our good friends at Jam have also added in to the debate so now its time to make up your own mind.
