New Arts, Entertainment Features for S.D. Readers

Beginning today, the San Diego County edition of Calendar will include a Monday through Friday Page 2 feature designed to provide daily entertainment news, commentary and analysis of events and issues of specific interest to San Diegans.

Under the general heading “San Diego Spotlight,” the page 2 feature will include a column, each day on a different subject, and news items of local interest.

Today, in his Media column, Kevin Brass discusses some of the problems that continue to unsettle the news staff at KCST-TV. Brass’s media column will appear every Monday in Calendar and will cover issues and events of local radio, television, film and news.

Alternating Tuesdays will feature Kenneth Herman on Classical Music and Eileen Sondak on Dance. Each Wednesday, Thomas K. Arnold will write about Pop Music issues and preview upcoming events.

Thursdays, the Times’ San Diego County arts writer Hilliard Harper will examine the Arts from the institutional side. Harper will analyze how the arts here are affected by the actions of federal and local governments and how the public and private arts organizations are being run.

Fridays, the Spotlight turns to the stage with Nancy Churnin discussing the issues and people in front of and behind the scenes of San Diego’s burgeoning and nationally envied Theater.

Page 2 of Saturday’s Calendar belongs to readers and we invite San Diegans to take it over. The Letters column is there as a forum for your views on our coverage, whether it is to take exception to a review from the Shubert Theater in Los Angeles, or to complain about a jazz performance we should have seen at the Bella Via.

We will even publish compliments.
