Changes at the Los Angeles Times


On August 26th, 2009 Gary Scott reported that Ralph’s super market chain would be pulling their advertising from the Los Angeles Times and all LANG (Los Angeles Newspaper Group) newspapers. Yesterday I noticed Ralph’s usual Sunday advertisement missing from my Los Angeles Times. Ralph’s represented over three million dollars in revenue for the Los Angeles Times, hence the downsizing and restructuring of the Times Orange County Facility.

And as you read this post layoffs continue at the Los Angeles Times, with the count at 36 as of last Thursday.

My son and I are off to Venice Beach for a few hours, so enjoy the video regarding changes in how news is delivered.
