This is Arnold York's week in the L.A. Business Journal. The owner-publisher of the Malibu Times (with his wife Karen) is in the front page lead of an LABJ story by Danny King about homeowners who rebuilt after the November 1993. York's home and most others in Malibu are worth a lot more now than before they burned down. He's also quoted on page 4 in a brief about their new bimonthly Malibu Times Magazine, which hopes to capitalize on the city's celeb culture. Jane Seymour is on the first cover. (Earlier: York buys 'Political Pulse'.)
Also on page 4, a short "The Roving Eye" feature on an a familiar sight at Hollywood parties and red carpets. Alan Berliner went to night school at age 41 and began taking photos of celebs. That was 30 years ago.
And: A piece on firms that gather petition signatures for money. Hint, it's busy season right now.
