In the weeklies

| 4 Comments

From some of the local weekly papers:

• The Downtown News covers a suspected break-in at the office of the El Pueblo Historical Monument by former employees who may have shredded documents and destroyed computer hard drives. After a critical audit by Controller Laura Chick, the monument's general manager resigned and other staff were fired or left. City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo's office is investigating the reported break-in.

• The LA Weekly cover story looks at Al-Jazeera, and Celeste Fremon continues her year-long series about the Aguilar family of East Los Angeles. Elsewhere, bloggers Mack Reed and Sean Bonner separately complain about the Weekly's new throwback website design.

• The Jewish Journal reports on the uncertain future of the little-known Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust, called the "wandering Jew" of the local Jewish community. Also, singles columnist Carin Davis returns from her first trip to Israel impressed: "Jewish men everywhere."

• CityBeat has a cover on the politics of chromium 6 by Chip Jacobs, an interview with The Nation's Jonathan Schell, and the Cathy Seipp column is about ex-Vanity Fair writer Toby Young (and a recycle of an item from her blog in May reacting to the Los Angeles magazine piece about Sandra Tsing Loh).
