southland publishing , which was founded in 1997 and is based in pasadena , has media properties throughout los angeles , riverside , san diego and ventura counties and in five states . in los angeles , southland owns the pasadena weekly , the argonaut , arroyo monthly and playa vista direct with a combined reach of more than 300 , 000 readers .
southland is content to go smaller .  new times had a very good product that circulated extravagantly ,  said southland publisher david comden . but in the end , going head to head against the weekly didnt work .
the los angeles downtown news , which has been covering downtown l . a . for 45 years , has been purchased by southland publishing , an l . a . - based media group specializing in newsweeklies , magazines and affiliated online assets .

what southland gets is insurance that no one else , namely riordan , can acquire the new times l . a . assets , which include the news racks and archives of articles . the antitrust settlement also gives weekly advertisers the right to cancel their contracts and go to southland instead .
the printer that just got fired by the l . a . weekly will make up for the lost business by starting two competing weekly papers of its own . southland publishing printed the l . a . weekly until two weeks ago , but will now offer its own citybeat in the l . a . basin and valleybeat for the other side of the hills .
ventana monthly magazine , our sister publication in ventura county , is largely direct mailed to homeowners with hh incomes of $ 100 , 000 . both publications are part of southland publishing , inc . a group of five newsweeklies and five magazines which include : pasadena weekly , san diego citybeat , the argonaut , arroyo monthly , new angeles monthly , verdugo monthly and life after 50 .
southland publishing itself was spawned from the sylmar - based valley business printers , which is owned by michael flannery , who is widely described as a conservative businessman who takes no interest in editorial policy . content is the purview of the left - leaning , 43 - year - old comden , who started out selling display ads for the san diego reader in 1983 , and later served as general manager of the sacramento news & review .
“it was key we find a buyer that understands and appreciates local newspapers , ” explains laris . “the immediacy , intimacy and personal relevance of the downtown news has been the cornerstone of our success . we have been a hometown paper . david comden and southland get it . i couldn’t have hoped for a better hand - off . with southland as the owner , downtown news will remain the independent voice of downtown los angeles . ”
southlands l . a . team will include newly hired editor in chief steve appleford , who lost his editing job with the old l . a . reader in 1996 , when new times came to l . a . and bought his paper for the sole purpose of shutting it down . one consultant is former weekly publisher sigman , who spent nearly two decades at the weekly before losing his job last year . southland also has hired away weekly editorial art director dana collins .
whatever the case , the monopolies are history for now . in cleveland , a new group bought the name of the closed paper and will restart it with much of the former staff . in l . a . , southland purchased the assets of the shuttered new times rag .
when it comes to print media , it seems nothing is forever anymore . however , i think i can speak for both my friend and myself when i say that we’ll continue to do this for as long as we can . so i’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the writers and editors over the years who helped shape this paper into what it is today . i’d also like to thank the ad reps who bust their asses every week to keep us afloat , as well as citybeat ’s parent company , southland publishing , for continuing to keep our ( physical ) paper in readers’ hands .
for now , it looks as though southlands entries will get by with slim staffing and relatively low salaries , as at the papers it already operates . it remains to be seen how the content will differ between citybeat and valleybeat . comden says he hopes to appeal to a younger audience .
“we’re purchasing a sophisticated property and are pleased to bring the l . a . downtown news into our family of media , ” said david comden , vice president of southland . “downtown los angeles has emerged as the most dynamic urban market on the west coast and its future is very bright . the addition of l . a . downtown news will greatly complement our coverage in greater pasadena and the westside of los angeles . ”
southland is dividing l . a . into city and valley segments . riordan plans to target upscale westside and beach neighborhoods . and the l . a . alternative press has expanded modestly and gradually from a silver lake focus and distribution area . theyve collectively learned from the experience of new times los angeles , which paid relatively high salaries to snare able journalists and competed with the weekly  and sometimes the l . a . times  for stories , distribution and advertising dollars .
but its difficult to see that mission clearly expressed in southlands uneven ventura and pasadena products . you get what you pay for ,  said one industry insider , who asked not to be named . its not very good at all . take the story in the pasadena paper , in which they essentially announced they were starting these papers in l . a . that story went on forever before there were one or two sentences in the middle that mentioned the new papers .
for the record , l . a . weekly management says that it left valley business printers , the core business of southland , for a printer with the technology to produce a higher - quality product . for years , the weekly attempted to escape valley in search of a better price . on two occasions , valley sued the weekly for breach of contract . the most recent suit was filed three years ago . valley sued for at least $ 8 million in damages , about the price of a years worth of printing . both suits were eventually settled out of court , with valley holding on to the business .

the papers are scheduled to hit the stands in june , well ahead of another , more talked - about weekly headed by former mayor richard riordan . a third paper , based in silver lake , has been in business for about a year .
all told , a pattern is emerging in the roiling world of l . a . s alternative press . no upstart will take on the weekly citywide . instead , publishers hope to carve out profitable niches within the enormous southern california market via lower - budget alternatives .
 new times spent a fortune on staff and promotion ,  said former l . a . weekly publisher michael sigman , who is now a music publisher .  new times tried to kill the weekly head - on with the same demographic , just by thinking they were better and sharper and knew the town better . and that was a mistake .
the thinking is this : the valley has not been well represented newswise ,  comden said , in either the weekly or the l . a . times , the regions dominant daily . it seems like its gone backwards in news coverage . were hoping to reverse that trend . some 200 , 000 people voting for secession left an impression on my mind .
with a smaller circulation , hell offer lower advertising prices to neighborhood restaurants , for example , that consider the weekly too pricey . he also hopes to lure in movie and music ads and the weekly s legendary assortment of escort services , massage parlors and plastic surgeons .
and hell be assisted by the outcome of a government antitrust lawsuit against new times and village voice media , the nations largest chains of alternative weeklies .
if unfettered corporate capitalism had held sway , the l . a . market and the cleveland market ( of all places ) would now be locked up by new times and village voice media , which owns the l . a . weekly . the two chains had been competing in these cities , but last october , they closed a deal by which village voice media got l . a . and new times got cleveland and about $ 9 million .
an antitrust investigation ensued , because its illegal for companies to divide markets and create monopolies . the companies denied wrongdoing , claiming that no media monopoly had resulted . in the end , both companies paid fines and made the assets of the closed papers available for sale . it seemed an unlikely formula to fuel competition , especially because both chains had concluded that neither city could sustain two profitable weeklies . new times lost millions in l . a . both companies were struggling to be profitable in cleveland .
the other two alternatives will work with trim budgets as well . riordan , it seems , will rely mostly on freelance writers . the l . a . alternative press is virtually a husband - and - wife operation that cant afford top dollar for stories .
all - access pass to the top stories , events and offers around town .
as for riordan , hes pushed back the hoped - for starting date of his paper to the fall . hes talked of having his paper distributed free to homes in upscale neighborhoods  not exactly the typical alternative demographic . to attract advertisers , hes got to show that his deliveries will get past the security gate and the 150 - foot driveway .

just south of the border is an oasis of well - being for body , mind and spirit .
choosing in - home care for seniors in portland may seem like a simple decision for any consumer to make , but there is a reason why a person should check reviews before finalizing the choice . the decisions that made when it comes to spending any number of dollars should be as informed as possible . each review posted about a product or service gives a person a look at what to expect from a different perspective .
the variety of expert reviews is why they are of such great importance before spending any money . learning about the experiences of other people that have made purchases gives an insight on both the good and bad qualities . for example , the levels of in home care for seniors in portland varies greatly and so do any issues that may have occurred in other people’s situations . the information available through reviews can reveal things like which provider has the services most similar to what you want for your senior .
there is an interesting thing to know about people that take the time to turn on their computer , search out places to leave reviews and then take their valuable time to give their feedback . whatever positive or negative thing that they found with the service most definitely was worth going through such a hassle to make their opinions known . even more impressive is the fact that there are still countless individuals around the world that care enough to give other people a heads up on services and products .
there was a time long ago when we as consumers were left with only the option of spending our dollars and putting our trust in whatever purchase was made . in some instances , there were word - of - mouth tidbits of information available to help guide our decision .
now that massive amounts of information steadily flows so freely to and from the digital information highway we no longer have to be so trusting before deciding . when it comes to many important buying decisions information is everything . we found a company offering the best in home care portland oregon has to offer called serenity home care of oregon . visit serenity home care on youtube .
when a company or individual specializing in senior care has something to offer to the public , they are asking us to trust in what ever it is they are making available . even more so , we are being requested to have confidence in the company themselves and whatever reputation they have developed during their time in existence . unfortunately , there are many businesses and other entities that don’t shine as much as their advertisements suggest . sometimes people can be duped into spending cash for something that could turn out to be a tremendous headache and a frustratingly long time problem .
the above information should prove very helpful in understanding why a review can save time and money . but for the sake of having a better look at the benefits of making this the first step before spending money , utilize the many available portland in home senior care reviews because they matter .
whether we want to admit it or not , we do have to look to the future and plan for those eventualities that come with moving into the later years of life . it is important as we grow older to stay as independent as possible so we can get the most enjoyment out of our senior years .
with a little bit of planning and a good in home senior care company , you can remain independent for a long time . senior in home care has come a long way over the last few years as the baby boomers have moved into senior life . there are now a lot of great companies to help you with this transition .
we will take a look at how this affects your life as you move on with your goals .

internal cut backs have resulted in the paper eliminating the position of managing editor , letting go several staff writers and other editorial department positions , as well as cutting the entire fact checking department .

‘call me by your name’ may be an oscar contender , but i . . .
local newspapers underwent shakeups last week , with one announcing major management changes and another preparing to increase its digital profile and offer buyouts to employees .
in addition , a historic weekly newspaper , the village voice , shuttered its print edition after 62 years and moved all of its operations online .
the biggest staff changes occurred last monday with the los angeles times hiring former yahoo ! ceo ross levinsohn to replace davan maharaj , who had served as both editor and publisher since march 2016 .
maharaj was fired along with three senior editors : managing editor marc duvoisin , deputy managing editor for digital megan garvey and assistant managing editor of investigations matt doig .
jim kirk , 52 , a veteran chicago news executive , was named interim executive editor . kirk served as publisher and editor of the chicago sun - times until last week .
“this is an amazing opportunity , ” levinsohn said in an interview . “the l . a . times is a bastion of great journalism . my aspiration is to draw upon the incredible amount of work that has been done here and broaden it . ”
levinsohn spent almost two years at yahoo ! , including serving as interim ceo . he also served as ceo at myspace , fox sports and rotten tomatoes .
in its own story on levinsohn’s appointment , the times portrayed the changes more like a purge than as simple staff changes , describing the three editors as being “ousted . ”
the article also confesses that the staff had suffered from “flagging morale after years of management changes on top of huge shifts in consumer behavior that have roiled the entire newspaper industry . ” the story also acknowledges that the paper has not been able to keep pace with the new york times and the washington post .
the shakeup comes on the heels of an investigative story by investigative reporter paul pringle and a number of staff writers exposing the double life of dr . carmen puliafito , who ran usc’s school of medicine , despite his alleged penchant for taking illegal drugs and wild partying .
puliafito was exposed after his 21 - year - old companion sarah warren overdosed on the date rape drug , ghb , at pasadena’s hotel constance in march 2016 . no arrests were made in that case . in fact , puliafito returned to huntington hospital six hours after the overdose , picked up warren and the pair returned to the hotel , warren told the times .
after discovering the overdose shortly after it had occurred , it was a year and a half before the times broke the story .
that led to questions about the officer involved in the case , who did not immediately file a report on the overdose .
but while those accusations were flying , some at the times were concerned about possible wrongdoing by editors in the newsroom , who many believed were holding the scandalous story for reasons unknown .
according to a story in the times , the reporters said they feared a possible conflict of interest with usc , which hosts the newspaper’s annual festival of books . the editors claimed that the story was of a sensitive nature and took time to review .
the newspaper’s human resources department cleared the two editors of any wrongdoing before they were let go .
the times is just about the only big daily paper in the region which does not belong to digital first media ( dfm ) , owners of southern california newspaper group , which includes the pasadena star - news , the orange county register , the la daily news and eight other daily newspapers .
dfm is seeking to reassign staff and hire more people to help all of their publications fulfill a “digital strategy . ”
according to the oc weekly — which is owned by another company — word of the pending changes spread in july after a memo containing that information was inadvertently left on a copier in the newsroom at the oc register by dfm chief financial officer dan scofield .
“it’s too early to say precisely how many people or positions will be affected , ” scofield’s memo states . “the goal will be based on the financial performance of the company as well as our ability to identify other potential savings . ”
previous cutbacks in the company have left small staffs at the papers , which already share content , copy editors and designers .
the memo states that management hopes to complete the buyout process sometime in september .
the company moved most of its san gabriel valley operations to a new building in monrovia last year , but the star - news has maintained an office in pasadena .
on tuesday , big changes were also announced at the nation’s premier alternative newsweekly .
executives with the village voice , the groundbreaking , left - leaning independent new york city weekly newspaper , announced they will shutter its print publication and become an online only operation .
the exact date of the last print edition has not yet been finalized , according to a spokeswoman .
owner peter barbey cited declining revenue from the print edition’s advertising as one of the main reasons behind ending the paper edition .
“when the village voice was converted into a free weekly in an effort to boost circulation back in 1996 , it was a time when craigslist was in its infancy , google and facebook weren’t yet glimmers in the eyes of their founders , and alternative weeklies — and newspapers everywhere — were still packed with classified advertising , ” barbey said in a statement . “clearly a lot has changed since then . that business has moved online — and so has the voice’s audience , which expects us to do what we do not just once a week , but every day , across a range of media . ”
the voice was launched in 1955 by norman mailer , ed fancer and dan wolf , from a two - bedroom apartment in greenwich village . at that time , the paper only covered greenwich village and slowly moved into other areas by the beginning of the 1960s . the voice has been a staple of the new york journalism world , producing as many big stories as it had launched powerful journalistic careers
writers for the voice have received three pulitzer prizes , with teresa carpenter winning in 1981 , and cartoonist jules feiffer winning in 1986 and 2000 .
wasn’t that it was printed on newsprint or that it came out every week , ” barbey said . “it was that the
was alive and that it changed in step with and reflected the times and the ever - evolving world around it . i want the
brand to represent that for a new generation of people — and for generations to come . ”

so read a tweet from medley of junk who , from what i can decipher , is big on fringe - right conspiracies and defending confederate imagery . they ( not sure as to medley’s gender , nor do i care enough to ask tbh ) were responding to last week’s cover , which featured a burning confederate flag .
i only point it out here because it’s not the first time someone has used the ol’ citybeat’s never gonna last or citybeat’s days are numbered chestnut to respond to us . hell , it’s pretty much carl demaio’s only comeback whenever we call him out on his nonsense . then again , he’s never been the most logical or savvy debater .
the quote above was from this column ( titled , “what is this thing ? ” ) in the very first issue of san diego citybeat on august 21 , 2002 . it was written by one of my mentors , david rolland , and 15 years later , the mission statement remains the same .
however , when it comes to contributors and content , there are very few holdovers from that first issue . ed decker’s acerbic “sordid tales” column made its first appearance and tom tomorrow’s “the modern world” brilliantly roasted the grossly inept , post - 9 / 11 bush administration . there was also an appearance from a spry music writer named jeffrey terich , who is now citybeat ’s music editor .
so yeah , sure , a lot has changed at citybeat over the years , but that “smart , bold and fun” attitude remains . i’m not writing all this in attempt to self - aggrandize or fluff our own feathers , but rather to point out just how much citybeat is the exception to the rule . just last week , as i sat down to write that issue’s “from the editor” column , the word came out that the village voice —long the exemplar of alternative news weeklies— was ceasing print operations and going digital only .
to be honest , the news hit me pretty hard . at the time the story broke , i was working out of the office of the city weekly in salt lake city . the editor there , enrique limón , is a citybeat alumnus ( longtime readers may remember him from his hilarious nightlife column , “the enrique experience” ) , and he was with me when his arts editor broke the news that we’d no longer be able to pick up a copy of the village voice from one of its signature red newsstands . we both kind of looked at each other silently and sighed . nothing really needed to be said . it’s as if we were both thinking the same thing : this is what we signed up for . we know we might be next .
but most of all , i’d like to thank our loyal readers . we’ll be having a proper celebration of our 15th anniversary in october with the release of our annual “best of” issue . leading up to that and continuing into 2018 , we will begin to unveil some new features and content . starting next week , we will begin with some early coverage of the candidates and issues that readers will need to know about leading up to the 2018 election . we will also be doing some smaller , reader service - type roundups of local news and issues ( it’s going to look amazing ) .
so rest in peace , village voice ( well , kind of ) , but to our local haters , i only have this to say : sorry , but we’re not going anywhere anytime soon .
