Not a surprise to me that LA City Beat closed down. They have great distribution in our hood and similar hoods. Their advertisers are targeting us. But their editorial decisions were poor. They did not cover the recent March 3 elections at all; if they had, it would have had a huge impact…and they were asked by the candidates to do so. What was their cover story…the elections in the city of Cuday. Their choice of news stories and cover stories was of very little relevance and usefulness to people who live in the City of LA and people who their advertisers were trying to reach. It’s almost like their editors were trying to pick the wierdest, most obscure things to write about and put on the cover. I handed them a very good story with all the relevant documents and information, ready to be published and exposed and they chose to run with some obscure junk. Let this be a lesson to LA Weekly, which had very poor coverage of the LA City elections compared to past years, and made no endorsements (their endorsements are always a must-read)…apparently because of their new corporate owners. If LA Weekly doesn’t keep their news and cover stories relevant, useful, and investigatory (to the people who their paying advertisers are trying to reach), they’ll be next. I guess the silver lining is that we’ll have less boxes cluttering-up our sidewalks…more space for trees.
