instead of only following institutions founded generations ago, we'd be watching what newcomers are doing, including newcomers who may speak languages other than english.
- we'd be paying attention to art schools, and writing about trends emerging from them.
- we'd be paying attention to artists who don't go to art schools.
- our visual arts writers would be talking to our tech writers about digital art.
- we might be rethinking our beat structures, perhaps getting rid of the walls between "arts," "entertainment," and "pop culture."
- we'd be watching how playwrights, poets, and painters are responding to the presidential campaign—not just jay and dave. (diane bacha, assistant managing editor/arts and entertainment, milwaukee journal sentinel)
real people, which is to say readers, experience the arts in an altogether different way. they go to movies, read books, visit art museums, go to work and the beach as well as the theater, argue about politics, listen to the radio, watch television, fall in love, love (or despise) ballet. i wanted to write about that, about the way that the arts and the world we live in every day are woven together in intricate, overlapping ways. (steven winn, arts and culture critic, san francisco chronicle)
