Wait. People miss the ink-and-paper Times? This may just be the more encouraging news for newspapers in a long while.
Of course, this is a perfect day for this to happen, given that the Lakers cinched the NBA national championship last night and southland fans might want a copy of their hometown paper's front page to commemorate the event. But Times publisher Eddy Hartenstein says that basketball isn't related to the production problems.
Longtime pressman Ed Padgett has the tale on his blog of what happened at the Times' press plant last night.
"In my thirty-eight years working at the Los Angeles Times, last night was the very first time I wondered if we would deliver today's edition to our readers," he writes. The post finishes with this: "I'm just your average pressman and say we need to reopen the Los Angeles Times Orange County Plant, for the remainder of this year, if anyone's listening?"
Wow, talk about a snafu witha silver lining. Turns out that newspapers and Orange County aren't quite dispensable!
