Check out Ron Charles's acceptance speech at Thursday's National Book Critics Circle awards ceremony. Here's the link from Critical Mass:
http://bookcritics.org/blog/archive/video_of_ron_charles_acceptance/
Gawker said, "Ron Charles, the nerdy senior editor at the Washington Post's Book World is actually the funniest bastard in the whole world. Charles took home an award for criticism and encouraged his fellow scribes to think and write in reader-friendly modes rather than acting like jerks.")

Book Reviews 2010: What Will They Look Like
As one newspaper towns go to no newspaper towns, as bloggers get sponsors, as networking sites burgeon in content, what is the future of the book review? We are poised now at the juncture—the transition is underway. But a transition to what? For some, the readership created by the internet is something to applaud. We bring together a panel of writers, editors, and professionals, established on the vanguard, to discuss prospects for the review and how it may change, in the near future.
Panelists:
Ben Greenman, The New Yorker
Otis Chandler, CEO/Founder, Goodreads
Bethane Patrick, PW blogger
David Nudo, New York Times, PW and Shelfari
Moderator:
John Reed, NBCC Board of Directors
