The big media in my town, Boston, seem to have very little interest in the arts anymore, and I’m afraid it is part of a larger trend. Of the big-three network affiliate television stations, two have dismissed their arts and entertainment reporters, who for a number of years had been noticeably absent from local performances and other arts events anyway. Only Joyce Kulhawik, who is a three-time cancer survivor and whose name aptly means “one who limps” in Polish, remains on the local CBS affiliate. At ABC and NBC, arts coverage amounts to syndicated services featuring celebrity interviews and Hollywood news — or is it gossip? — instead. Not that I get any of my arts coverage from the network news broadcasts; I’m reading about this online.
