It's all the fault of Bush's censorship....that's GOTTA be it.

[TonyXL]

Chalk up another entry on the "Legacy Media" list.

But what do sales mean to an organization that loves socialism? They should just be happy to do it for the People.

If they're claiming that an average of three people reads every paper that goes into circulation, they're bonkers... Those 'average daily readers' numbers are absolute bunk.

But then again, why should I expect more from a liberal paper that prints lies -- what is one more?

[pissant]

Unfit for a fish wrapper or birdcage.

[Uncledave]

Appointed a veteran newspaper circulation executive to a newly created position of senior vice president, circulation to focus entirely on circulation sales and distribution

Notice how this CEO declines the opportunity to publicly name his star veteran SVP. Nice snub there.

It sucks to be them.

[kellynla]

They've dropped the Sunday paper from $1.50 to a dollar.

Maybe Ruppert Murdoch might be interested in buying it! LOL

I sure miss the L.A. Herald-Examiner...

[Plutarch]

LA Times thinks its great that the composition of the L.A. Basin changes towards a decidedly more Hispanic, illegal and less educated tilt. Until they figure out these people don't read newspapers.

The LA Times will soon be campaigning for white immigration into LA, so they can do the newspaper reading that Mexicans refuse to do.

[Ron in Acreage]

Probably because the mexican/spanish language papers are going up in numbers. The LA times is reaping what it has sewn. Just like the Miami Herald. They are always opposed to anything that supports official english as our countries language. When half of LA's population can't read english, it's no wonder. Let's not forget that liberalism part also.

Michael Ramirez's cartoons are the only thing worth reading on the editorial page. I think Ramirez is one of the best, if not the best conservative cartoonist around.

[Hi Heels]

bttt

[Hi Heels]

Actually, I've seen/heard higher figures.

I love how they're justifying the loss. Fact is, they're losing readership because they are biased and publish fiction. And we're tired of it.

[oldbrowser]

Circulation is down and there is no chance that it will ever recover............. apply all the lipstick you want.

[MikeHu]

Maybe there's a declining demand for liberal propaganda.

[Cicero]

"the decision to deliberately reduce certain types of circulation, such as third-party bulk sales."

What, they aren't counting sales to recycling plants or pulp mills any more?

[Lorianne]

Maybe that's why they've started including articles like this on their pages:

Our herd was wiped-out by 'mad cow' disease, so we don't need your bull anymore LA Times.

[TaMoDee]

Let's all remember the 907,997 Daily and 1,253,849 Sunday figures and then in six months and one year see what
$10Mil buys them. Should be interesting.

[So Cal Rocket]

The Times has taken the following actions:

* Launched a comprehensive $10 million consumer marketing campaign, including brand advertising and direct marketing efforts.

I've received 4 solicitations in the mail from the Times in the last 6 months. Each time I've taken their Business Reply Envelope, filled it with scrap paper and mailed it back to them.
