As a resident Angeleno, I’m an inveterate reader of the Plaschke and Simers reports on the Lake Show and a keen follower of the David Lazarus’ business column. How unfortunate so, that the LA Times is one of many newspapers that is being slowly strangled out of circulation by failing to adapt to the changing landscape of news.

The list of troubled newspapers is long and distinguished and includes names such as The Boston Globe and The New York Times. The Globe has had a difficult period adapting to the changes proposed by its parent company. But sadly its imminent demise appears to be etched in the granite stone that Massachusetts stands proudly upon.
