Good Grief: Who's Going to Cover LA News Now?

LA Media Reform Summit 2013 What’s the future of the Los Angeles Times and its news coverage as the paper’s parent company emerges from bankruptcy? Would a buyout by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, the Koch Brothers or local investors strengthen the paper or improve its community service? And if the Times continues its decline or shuts down, how will Angelenos get their local news? California Common Cause, the LA Media Reform Group, Occidental College's Urban and Environmental Policy Institute, the LA Progressive and MoveOn LA invite you to learn about this issue and how to create your own impact media. When: Saturday, April 27, 2013; 1-5 p.m.; reception to follow Where: Herrick Chapel, Occidental College (Directions). You'll hear from: former FCC Commissioner Michael Copps * Media Matters, Vice President, Angelo Carusone * Huffington Post LA Reporter * Kathleen Miles * Tim Rutten, former LA Times Reporter * Host of KPFK’s Background Briefing, Ian Masters * Executive Director, Media Consortium, Jo Ellen Kaiser * Publisher of Truthdig, Zuade Kaufman * The Young Turks Producer and Co-Host, Ana Kasparin * LA Progressive Co-Founder, Sharon Kyle * and KCETLink Web Editor, Brian Frank.
