Newspapers and weeklies

Susan La Tempa: The free-wheeling, deeply divisive newspapers of L.A.'s early days.

The Times' most interesting new hire. An LA correspondent gives his farewell observations. Media moves and more.

In a surprising set of weekend pieces, the editor of the SoCal News Group and each of his papers call on readers to support local news. Or else.

Read the memo: Buyer assures nervous newsroom he wants to "preserve the integrity, honesty and fairness we’ve observed in our decades as avid readers of the LA Times."

Larry Altman leaves the Daily Breeze after 28 years, much of that covering murder and mayhem. "For the most part, I loved being a reporter, but the job came with so much sadness and stress."

A stormy day began with a 5,000-piece in CJR and ended with the Business editor walked out of the building, at least temporarily.

Tom Hoffarth, the longtime Daily News sports columnist, says he is one of 10 sports staffers to lose their jobs. The Breeze lost all but one photographer, per a report.

Lewis D'Vorkin's visit in the Oval Office. New city editor named at the Times. Media people and selected tweets.

The venerable free Los Angeles alt-weekly has been dished off by owner Voice Media Group.

The owners are slowly selling off their alt weeklies and predict the LA Weekly will generate buyer interest.

Offices and retail in the older buildings, while it looks like the 1970s corporate side will be razed for apartments.

It's not true that the new name for Michael Ferro's experiment in newspapering stands for Time to Recycle Old Newspaper Company.

About 200 staffers would be laid off, a report says.

The managing editor of KCET Artbound writes for Los Angeles Magazine, did segments for KPCC's New Music Today feature and was a producer for NPR's "News and Notes" back in the day.

Ferro's secret plan to monetize his new toy includes LA Times bureaus in Lagos, Moscow and Mumbai. But nothing for LA or California.

Ferro might be the illegitimate offspring of Sam Zell and former Freedom Communications CEO Aaron Kushner.

More revenue than you've ever seen. Artificial intelligence. Revolutionize the strategy. Piece of cake.

Larry Mantle on his friend Steve Julian. New post for Nicco Mele. The Broad gets a category on tonight's "Jeopardy." And a lot more.

The parent of the LA Times says it didn't seek the offer and isn't for sale, but is "thoroughly evaluating the proposal."
