Feel free to use this image however you like. The Retch's suggestions include as a screensaver, a coffee mug design or, a personal favorite, as a massive, 200-foot high banner hung from the side of Times Mirror square.
Update: The LA Times just posted its obit on Ken. The obit says Ken's blog "advocated returning The Times to local ownership."
That's kind of like saying that Edward Abbey was not fond of developers. Ken despised what Sam Zell was doing to the LA Times. He said so repeatedly and forcefully. That his old newspaper cannot describe Ken's position forthrightly and clearly is a sad commentary on the Times' current commitment to truth telling. What editor allowed such euphemism in its coverage of one of the paper's stalwart supporters?
In Memoriam, Ken Reich

Boy, everyone wants to vilify someone for the erosion of the newspaper business.
ReplyDeleteIf we're going to have a Take Back the Times campaign, let's focus on the readers and advertisers. They're the ones we need to take it back. Currently, they don't want to buy what we're selling.
