The Washington Post has laid off Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic Sebastian Smee and made sweeping employee cuts across its Arts section in what’s been described as a “bloodbath” at the Jeff Bezos-owned paper. All of the Post’s staff photographers were also eliminated, raising questions about the future of the publication’s visual strategy. Other cuts include the Post’s arts and entertainment editor, visual art editor, film editor, senior style section editor, and two art reporters, as well as its pop, classical, TV, and theater critics and two reporters who occasionally covered film and television. Senior Art and Architecture Critic Philip Kennicott will remain on staff. For the full story by valentina.diliscia, visit our link in bio. . . .
