jfbOn the way to work this morning (boy, it's been a while since I've used that phrase) I was listening to KQED's call-in program Forum, an interview with Los Angeles Times editor John Carroll. The Times, he says, aspires to be "the national newspaper of the West," and we could sure use one. I don't read it that often, but I do recall that during the build-up to the Iraq invasion, while the east coast papers were trapped in the administration's echo chamber, the L.A. Times was one of the few establishment papers to do some independent foreign policy reporting.
The paper publishes an east coast edition which loses money, just to get its reporting in the hands of influential readers in Washington and New York. But Carroll admits that it's going to be hard to be a national newspaper of the West when you can't even get home delivery in San Francisco.
(There should be an archived version of today's program on the web site by tomorrow morning, if not earlier. Or you could listen RIGHT NOW on the radio or on the web.)
