Seipp on writing freelance in L.A.

| 1 Comment

Cathy Seipp bemoans the plight of Los Angeles freelancers and puts some of the blame on the Times in her UPI column: "Conventional wisdom has it that the wretched state of Los Angeles media is the Los Angeles Times's fault, because our local paper of record has no competition, and therefore breeds complacency so powerful that it can envelop employees in a warm glow of self-satisfaction even after they've retired."

On his own blog, Matt resumes his personal quest to figure out the best route to commute between the Silver Lake area and Reason magazine's Westside offices.
