Allan Kozinn, Longtime New York Times Music Critic, Is Reassigned

Allan Kozinn, who has been a music critic and writer for the New York Times since 1977, has been reassigned to general assignment culture reporter

Allan Kozinn has been reassigned from his longtime position as a music critic for the New York Times to general-assignment culture reporter.

Kozinn acknowledged the move, first reported by Norman Lebrecht on his Slipped Disc blog, on his Facebook page on Monday:

"Well, since word about this seems to be out, I might as well repost it as well. I think officially, all I can say is that it's been more than a privilege to write about music and musicians for the Times for the last 35 years.

"I've heard, seen and covered a few lifetimes worth of great and interesting music although there's a great deal more I wanted to do — I've really enjoyed watching the new music world really catch fire in recent years — I'll obviously continue to keep tabs on it through Steve Smith's work, not to mention directly, where possible while I'm doing whatever it is I'll be doing instead."
