OC Register Produced by LA Times?


With so much negative news regarding the newspaper industry the last few years, it’s nice to see a small ray of positive news occasionally. According to the Orange County Business Journal, the Los Angeles Times and the Orange County Register may soon be working together as a team instead of opposing forces.

Here’s what the Orange County Business Journal said which caught my attention:
Under the plan, according to sources, the ownership and editorial operations of the Times and Register would remain separate. Printing, distribution and mailing would be combined. Whether advertising would be combined is in question, according to sources.

Unfortunately the men and women that currently produce the hard copy of the Orange County Register would most likely be let go, but the Los Angeles Times Orange County Facility would have additional work.

This combined collaboration for both newspapers is still months away from being finalized, but stay tuned for further developments as they break.
