Great job, PCB. Love the birds. BTW - this is a very disturbing story.

Poor newspapers. I used to read the paper. It's been years. I get all I need from Time magazine and my cell phone internet link. Poor LA Times. But if the paper is inevitably doomed, how does one make the most out of dismantling it? That's proly the question on Zell's mind.

Very interesting piece! So much is happening to media these days, both how its consumed by the public and who's consolidating it. This video explained everything so clearly. Definitely news worthy and informative.

As always, your report is captivating and informative. I was enlightened and awakened by the subject matter and think that your report was wonderfully delivered.
Great job.

Great report- how sad that the newspaper industry has fallen into such a state. As an avid consumer of news, I would challenge anyone to try this: buy the actual paper, read it cover to cover, then log onto your "free" online version, you'll be shocked by how much you miss in the online version, and how much longer the "timesaving" online version takes to navigate...you get what you pay for.

I forgot to thank M.A.C. Machine of Big Digits fame, who was very generous with his time and effort. He was Key Grip for the Roderick shoot. Thanks Macciaswelldogs.

An excellent piece of reporting Patrick; I was beginning to forget what real reporting was like. Keep up the great work!
