I trust that my local newspaper also will provide me with an update on the cultural activities in the city, not out-of-state reviews and arts news, as seems to be the trend.

Having been involved in local theater for many years and a member of the Albuquerque Theatre Guild, I know many theater patrons, as well as visitors, look to the Journal for arts activities. The Friday Venue has over the years, been my guide.

Print media continues to lose readers but frankly, I enjoy my morning newspaper and I want it to provide me with arts information about my community.

By eliminating local arts and cultural news, I fear you will continue to lose even more subscribers. Everyone stands to lose if that's the case - the Journal, music/art and theater venues and the economic impact it has on the community.

I hope you will continue to publish a vibrant Arts section and especially a Friday Venue that tells me where I can spend my money this weekend.

When asked about movies, our standard response is "I hear they talk now." That is, we rarely see a movie (once a year maybe). We go to plays! We rely on the Albuquerque Journal to keep us informed about plays that will be or are currently being performed in Albuquerque. We especially rely on being able to read reviews of the plays that are currently on stage. I do not know the demographics of movie goers versus theater attendees; however, I suspect that theater attendees skew to older, higher education and income, and most importantly people who are more likely to subscribe to and read the Albuquerque Journal. That's us and our theater-going friends. PLEASE do not cut the amount of space and the number of articles that the Journal prints about theater events. Being able to read those articles are one reason we subscribe.

This will be the end of my support for the journal if this goes thru -and in my humble opinion, the beginning of the end of our city's newspaper. We turn to the televised news for current events. The arts is something that sets it apart from other news sources. We must stand as a community and let our voices be heard and ONLY support publications which value the enrichment of New Mexico's culture and diversity. Such a sad stance the journal is proposing.

If the print media is to survive, it needs to focus on local content and local interest. While the internet has certainly hurt newspaper sales, I have little interest in purchasing a newspaper that focuses on content I can find anywhere. Expanding the local arts, especially with the rich content theatre can bring can only serve to keep interest and I suggest doing so.
