LA Times Business Section Gets Thinner Still
The best current columnist at the LA Times, James Flanigan, is leaving the paper at the end of the month.
This edges the Lohan-esque thin Business section of the paper even farther toward irrelevancy to the hundreds of thousands of businesses and millions of investors and employed people living in the region.
Take a look at some of his on-target recent columns to get a sense of the big-picture perspective he brings (for once, we’ll lay off the comparisons to other Times columnists). We especially liked his May 15 column, “LA Needs Boldness At City Hall,” which posited that “the mayor of Los Angeles has more economic clout than almost any mayor in the country” and then made the case.
I feel like I should get a discount on my subscription after he leaves.
