Richard Riordan is preparing a
prototype of a new weekly
newspaper, The Los Angeles
Examiner.
The prototype, a 50-page tabloid, should
be complete
next week and "will be shopped
around to prospective advertisers and
investors," the Los Angeles Business
Journal reports. Ken Layne, a
member of the Examiner’s editorial staff
and co-founder of
the LAExaminer.com Web site, says the
weekly would be a politically oriented,
L.A.-centric paper aimed at affluent
readers featuring commentary from
well-known political writers and
Hollywood insiders, but no sex ads.
Former New Times Los Angeles writer
Jill Stewart is a contributor to the
prototype.
