Letters to the Editor: On L.A. Times layoffs, readers talk subscribing, political slant and preserving journalism (via latimesopinion )
The Times has an excellent team of seasoned reporters. Where else can one get reliable information about what’s going on in the city and in our government, including the City Council, local school boards and the California Legislature? The Times also provides fine coverage of business, sports and entertainment.
How do you lay off the stellar staff photographer Kent Nishimura? Or the young, vibrant staff trying to bring the woeful digital space into relevance? Or the editors, copy editors and other staff shockingly laid off this week who help make the paper make sense? The news business can still be a good investment, and newspapers and other news outlets don’t need to lose money to exist. But, as fact-based journalists are replaced by an industry increasingly supported and controlled by advertising dollars and political messaging, real news will eventually disappear.
