New Committee to Review Kennedy Center Honors Selection Process

From David Montgomery for the Washington Post:
The Kennedy Center has formed a committee of artists and community leaders to review the heretofore opaque process by which winners of the annual Kennedy Center Honors are selected... The 11-member artist advisory panel will have its second meeting this month, Kennedy Center spokesman John Dow said.
Its formation late last year — though only announced Monday — is part of a series of steps the center has taken in response to a controversy that erupted in September over the lack of Latino honorees.
