Chicago will no longer have a full-time film critic

https://www.thewrap.com/chicago-trib...hael-phillips/

Chicago Tribune film critic Michael Phillips, a successor to the late film critic Gene Siskel, announced he has decided to take a buyout after his newspaper eliminated his job. The news comes six months after the Chicago Sun-Times, the longtime newspaper home of the late film critic Roger Ebert, decided to eliminate its film critic following the departure of former Ebert & Roeper co-host Richard Roeper. "If they tried to make Siskel and Ebert today it would be two empty chairs," tweeted Slate culture writer Sam Adams. "The city that gave the world Siskel & Ebert no longer has a full-time print film critic," added Brian Tallerico, editor in chief of RogerEbert.com. Phillips appeared on TCM and guest-hosted At the Movies with Ebert & Roeper, filling in for Ebert as he went through extensive medical treatments for cancer.
