My parents subscribed to the LA Times, the NYT, and the Santa Barbara News Press, which long ago was a very good local paper. Dad was a newspaper photographer in his young days and spoke into his 90s about his mentors there. I subscribe to the RG because I can’t quite stand to have the lights go out.
I grew up reading the LA Times, a brilliant paper in its day. Writers like Bella Stumbo wrote New Yorker-length feature stories in the View section, and as a young reporter I read every word.
You worked hard on this piece-I appreciate that even enough it isn’t my story. Journalism was a predominantly white guy club that I was unable to break into. But that is important history to remember as we morph into something very very different
Sandy, I like the combination of your hard-nosed skepticism of the old boys' club that newspapering so often has been with your optimistic view that we're actually morphing into something. I worry that we're morphing into nothing, but will be very happy to be proved wrong.
