Abstract

Reports on the plans of former Los Angeles, California, Mayor Richard Riordan, popular among journalists, to put $5 million of his fortune towards starting a new weekly newspaper in Los Angeles, the 'L.A. Examiner.' Editors Ken Layne and Matt Welch, two experienced newspapermen who were pioneers in the online world of weblogs, have put together a colourful 52-page tabloid full of articles by an array of seasoned L.A. journalists and a few well-known outsiders, such as Billy Crystal. The aim, says Mr Layne, is to reflect the cultural energy of the city and, naturally, to cover local stories better than the existing media does. This is a reference to the 'Los Angeles Times,' the dominant local daily. Until October, 2002, Los Angeles had two free weekly "alternative" papers, the 'Los Angeles Weekly' and the 'New Times LA.'
