For me, ending the standalone Book World section in the Sunday print edition several years ago was especially disappointing and a symbol of the problems the organization was having.

Over the years more "fluff" has crept in, although I think that has happened to most all newspapers, at least those in the US.

In any event, it will be interesting to see what happens. Of course there is currently a lot speculation in DC right now about what exactly this "means" in terms of possible changes.
All papers and many magazines are diminishing. The people don't want to pay for what they can get for free.
Only the specialty magazines will survive.
