From a notebook item by The Globe and Mail's Johanna Schneller:

For a few years now, Canadian reporters have been pretty much shut out of print interviews with the biggest stars, having to cadge quotes from press conferences while their U.S. colleagues hog the one-on-one slots.

Now there's further evidence that print is a dying medium at TIFF: Even some of the biggest American print outlets seem to be feeling the pinch, with management shortening the purse strings on reporters' expenses.

Four staffers from People magazine, who used to stay at the Marriott on Bloor Street, have been bumped to the cheaper Marriott on Bay. ...

How are those poor bastards supposed to have any feelings of self-respect whatsoever if they find themselves isolated -- no, marooned -- way down at the Marriott on Bay?!?! That's by the Eaton Centre, for Christ's sake! :)
