Patterico got a hold of a memo California Editor David Lauter sent out detailing the changes to the A section as the paper shuts down its California section.
Among the changes, fewer feature stories, shorter stories and less "zoned" Orange County coverage. Lauter comments the changes will not affect good journalism, and the paper continues to strive toward impactful content. But let’s face it, they’ve essentially decided to merge the content from one entire section into another.
Logistically, that is going to mean less stories, and likely less coverage of something — local, national or international news coverage.
Seeing as the L.A. Times is to many the premier paper for Southern California, I’m assuming this could mean less national and international coverage.But we’ll have to see how it all plays out.
