The little box at the right with links to the front pages of today's newspapers may become a daily feature. Suggestions? Links in the lower half point to some of the busier local news sites.
♦ Donnell Alexander makes a case in
CityBeat that New Times will be good for Los Angeles journalism. Separately, rumor is that New Times honcho Michael Lacey will be here Friday for a first confab with folks at the LA Weekly.
♦ Noam Levey has moved over to the Times' county beat covering the Board of Supervisors and whatever else happens in the Hall of Administration on Temple Street. He had to leave the City Hall beat after
becoming involved with Leslie Pollner, a top deputy to city council member Wendy Greuel.
♦ There's a
blog for L.A. podcasters, and a
gathering coming up Nov. 11 and 12.
♦ Bacteria counts this summer at local beaches were the
highest in five years. "Urban slobber" is blamed.
♦ Mayor Villaraigosa will propose a $1-billion bond measure for
affordable housing that the Times says will "give city planners a firmer hand in shaping the city according to Villaraigosa's vision, making it denser and more vertical, with new housing concentrated along public transit lines."
♦ Chief Bratton is writing books on management techniques and counterterrorism, and
not talking much about either one.
♦ Playa Vista got too much environmental approval too quickly, a state Court of Appeal ruled. Everyone's
still trying to figure out what it means.
♦ Today's the day the state publishes the Academic Performance Index for public schools. The Times plans to have the scores
up on the web after 10:30 am.
♦ Times sports editor Bill Dwyre
pens an op-ed piece with mentions of his wise-ass columnist T.J. Simers and op-ed scribe Patt Morrison.
