This past Sunday, the Los Angeles Times Book Review section became the latest casualty of the belt-tightening that the L.A. Times – and the American newspaper industry, more generally – is currently undergoing. As of today, now only three newspapers in the country produce stand-alone book review sections: The New York Times, the Washington Post and the Chicago Tribune.

But even as newspapers struggle, book reviews and the discussions they foment are on the rise…on the internet.

Tonight on The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Jeff Brown talks about the changing look of the book review with Steve Wasserman, a former editor of the Los Angeles Times Book Review, and Kassia Krozser, founder and editor of BookSquare.com, a website that reviews books and discusses the state of the publishing industry.

Visit http://www.pbs.org/newshour/topic/media after 9:00 PM Eastern time tonight for more information on this segment.
