And More Distressing News

[Note: This post has been updated (1) as of 11:07 AM Eastern on 23 May. See below.]

The appalling beat goes on. The latest to join the march is The Washington Post. Reports the Washingtonian:

The [Washington] Post collected six Pulitzer prizes for 2007, but it could lose as many as 12 Pulitzer Prize winners in the current round of buyouts.

[...]

Tim Page, who previously won for his classical-music criticism, is taking the deal and planning to teach.

Not altogether unexpected, but distressing nevertheless.

If true (no notice or confirmation from The Washington Post yet), Mr. Page's eloquent and authoritative voice will be sorely missed.
