The Washington Post has confirmed it is killing its literary supplement Book World as a separate section and moving its coverage of books and publishing elsewhere in the paper.
According to the newspaper, coverage will be shifted to the Style section and a revamped Outlook section, and it will publish about three-quarters of the roughly 900 reviews it currently carries each year.
Book World will live on in digital form, as a section on washingtonpost.com that will include not just an archive of reviews but reporting on publishing and a calendar of Washington area literary events.
Last week, the newspaper had denied reports it was to close the section.
