The Times was rocked recently by news that its average weekday circulation for the six months ended September 30 dropped to 972, 957 - a decline of nearly 5%. This loss was the second highest among the nation's top 20 newspapers.

Isn't our system of free enterprise WONDERFUL?
How much MORE pain must they endure before they CHANGE, to reflect the demands of the marketplace?

Is there any chance that business will get SO bad that the L.A. Times will someday actually start printing JOURNALISM?

~sigh~
Yea. Ain't it great...FE works just like a wash machine.

"Is there any chance that business will get SO bad that the L.A. Times will someday actually start printing JOURNALISM?"

Yes & no, IMO.

No; not under the current owner(s) & the managers (lapdogs) they've appointed to run the place.
Coincidentally, the same managers who're mercilessly running that business into the ground.

Yes; when telling the truth, the whole truth, & nothing but the truth once again becomes...*trendy*?

Well after all, it "is" LA we're talking about here, eh? :^)

The TIMES sucks. They keep calling me to take the rag and I tell them I will take it when they expose Bill Clinton's rape of Juanita Broaddrick, when they use the correct words "illegal aliens," and when they dump Bill Shearer. Not before.

This is good news, but not as good as Disney concluding its fiscal year in the red!

LATimes survives only because it's the only rag in town. Alot of cities have the same problem, but LA is harmed the most by its left-wing publication that claims it's a "newspaper."

Ha! I have no compassion for socialist rags like the LA Times. I would say, wonderful!

I think the Times actually must have WANTED to kill its subscriber base.

After all, they solicit donations from their readers to help poor kids go to camp. Then they told the kids that they couldn't use their campership money to go to Boy Scout camp. The Times certainly wouldn't want perverts to be denied their rights to molest kids at camp, now would they???? I know personally several people who dropped their subscriptions over that one issue.

The Times must have gotten at least part of the message because they did restore some money to the BSA for last summer, but then told the scouts it would be the last time.

Ummm, nawwwwwwwwww...

[goldilucky]

That's why I don't subscribe to the L.A. times. They are not journalist. They are paid talking heads.
