Reviewers, as specialist writers legitimized as arbiters of taste by the artistic fields, form a distinct subculture within cultural journalism. The change in their status in the journalistic hierarchy is due to changes in the in-house policies of newsrooms. This paper outlines some key developments of reviews in Finnish dailies comparing changes in criticism with other journalistic genres. A quantitative analysis of the culture departments of five quality dailies (N = 5795) from 1978 to 2008 indicates the following trends. While staff workers in culture departments have increasingly taken responsibility for news production, the production of reviews has increasingly been outsourced. While cultural journalism in general undergoes a process of masculinization, criticism has been subjected to very little change. The average length of reviews has been cut by more than half, and the diminution of the high cultural canon is accompanied by the popularization of content. However, the number of unique reviewers has increased, potentially testifying to a more multi-voiced criticism.
