Talk:LA Weekly

Assessment
Even its sister publication OC Weekly's article is larger. This article needs more info on early history, the Village Voice purchase, the New Times Media agreement that led to the demise of New Times LA, etc. Blank Verse 08:59, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes. For such an important independent paper it really needs a much more comprehensive entry.patrickw 16:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


 * i just happened to be talking about the "takeover" this morning with my boss (unfortunately, i work in an agency that the LA Weekly targets more frequently than we'd like), there isn't alot of information out there, but i did read that the New Times L.A. was around up until 2002 (i used to pick it up while in college). There is an LA Times article i just read today that talks a little about the merger, check it out here:  --HatchetFaceBuick 20:48, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Some first steps taken to address the weak point in this article pointed out above. Updated the article to reflect staff turnover, some of the controversy of brining in Jill Stewart in to become news editor. At some point, I believe it'd be worthwhile to create a section within the article dedicated to the New Times acquisition and the fairly big changes to editorial policy and staff that have resulted since.
