LA Observed: Guest bloggers sign the papers

Guest bloggers sign the papers

Kevin Roderick • Bio • Email

After several weeks as resident guests, and some time before that as anonymous visiting bloggers, Mayrav Saar and Kate Coe are official at Fishbowl LA. Mayrav is a former Orange County Register staffer-turned freelance columnist who makes a few appearances in the archive of LA Observed. Kate is a TV producer who has written for the London Sunday Times and The Chronicle of Higher Education, among other publications, and is a Friend of Cathy Seipp (Cathy takes credit for recommending her to Fishbowl's owner Mediabistro.) Kate used to comment here a fair bit back when LA Observed had comments. FishbowlLA tried out a number of prospects after Claude Brodesser-Akner left for TMZ in June. I'm told that Mediabistro even took a run at luring Nikki Finke's Hollywood blog away from the LA Weekly. Best wishes to Saar and Coe.

Related note: Mediabistro seems to be once again for sale.

Semi-related note: Seipp has managed to irk TV Barn blogger Aaron Barnhart. She responds.

Innovation chief Abrams not too impressed with Times

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.
