ABSTRACT
Writing about entertainment is changing with the times. No longer limited to previews and reviews, editors for consumer magazines and daily newspapers have taken new looks at how reviews, criticism, and entertainment features extended beyond the routine. New weekend sections have been created for newspapers. New departments in mag azines are parts of redesigns. These publications have broadened how they cover the arts and entertainment and they have added more depth. Entertainment journalism is growing to full maturity along side the more-established opinion-based reviews and critiques (Bednarski, 1993; Bunn, 1993; Hellyer, 1993; Vawter, 1993).
