More from Lean Dean

This is as frontal as it gets, in terms of us ink-stained wretches:

The source adds that Horne implied cultural and sports coverage of such LA beats as Hollywood, the LA Philharmonic Center and Dodger Stadium were likely targets for the budgetary axe. "The Register might not have a Hollywood guy; we might use Daily News for that," the source says. "You can think of all these scenarios where [MediaNews] would use us for the Angels, and we'd use them for the Lakers."

Where there currently is four jobs, there soon might be two.

 

He's been doing that kind of cutting for the past 10-12 years. The only papers he doesn't have in SoCal are the Times, Register and Press-Enterprise. Slash and burn is his motto.

 

Yeah. This is hardly new tact.

 

Bob Jelenic might be close.

 

Next time you become delusional and think you actually LIKE James Taylor, remember that he and Singleton are buttbuddies.

 

The content sharing has already begun on Dodgers and Angels coverage.

 

I hear you, but I don't think JT is telling Dean how completely screw up journalism just as much as I doubt Singleton is telling Mr. Taylor he needs to re-mix "Carolina In My Mind."

I get your point, BH, but just sayin'.

 

God, don't give him any ideas regarding the P-E. That paper's pretty damn good despite Belo's problems.

 

Not to my knowledge. Word is both papers are doing home games. OCR is doing Angels road games, DN is doing Dodgers road games

 

remember when owners and publishers not only thought, but believed competition made for better journalism?

remember when owners and publishers cared about better journalism?


this profession is in the crapper, and it ain't rearin' its shit stained face any time soon.

 

The business is in a controlled crash landing. Imagine if reporters did their jobs like these cost cutters did? If you don't have enough resources to give this story the same treatment you normally would so you outsource (lift it from another source). You'd be fired and justly ripped for giving the profession a black eye.
