Three closed California papers find new home


Charlie Plowman, owner of Outlook Newspapers in La Canada Flintridge, has acquired three closed papers from the Los Angeles Times’ parent company, the LA Times reported.
Terms of the deal weren’t made public.
Due to COVID-19, the Burbank Leader, Glendale News-Press and La Canada Valley Sun were closed by The Times’ owner, California Times, earlier in April.
Plowman publishes the La Canada Outlook, the Pasadena Outlook and titles in South Pasadena and San Marino. His plan is to merge the two La Canada papers into one paper and reboot the Glendale and Burbank papers.
The 14 community news staff members who lost positions as part of the closures won’t be going to Outlook Newspapers, the LA Times reported.
