Liz Smith at Premiere of 'Frost/Nixon' at the Ziegfeld Theatre, New York City, USA - 17.11.08

Website Gawker.com reports Smith's regular Post column has been dropped.

The site has leaked extracts from an alleged letter Post editor Col Allan sent Smith earlier this month (Feb09), in which he states, "Like so many other newspapers around the nation, we are buffeted by unprecedented economic gales."

Post publicist Steven Rubenstein has confirmed the news, adding, "The Post is grateful to have been able to publish Liz Smith's legendary column for so many years. We wish her the very best for the future."
