The New Establishment
When I posted in the Morning Buzz about Rick Orlov's story on the relatively new Los Angeles Civic Alliance, the members' names had not yet been included on the Daily News website. Now they are. Participants include — in addition to former Secretary of State Warren Christopher and George Kieffer of Manatt, Phelps and Phillips — media types Matthew Toledo of the L.A. Business Journal, Geoffrey Cowan of the Annenberg School of Communications at USC and Monica Lozano of La Opinión. Two decades ago you would have seen Otis Chandler or someone else from the Times on any list of influential downtown movers and shakers. No more. For posterity, I've listed them all after the jump (fixing the DN's typos.)

Lee Abrams, Tribune Company's chief innovation officer, doesn’t seem too impressed with the Los Angeles Times. That’s the feeling I got when he appeared at the Los Angeles Press Club.
Seven or fifteen minutes from now I can definitively say I didn't hear the sound of sirens.
