I never lived in LA and I have an LA Times subscriptions. As far as I can tell, it is still provides quality journalism, despite some questionable decision making. I keep supporting it primarily because I feel like if it goes under then it will leave a big news void on the west coast. I try to support local media in addition to some of the big brands
It's just getting smaller and smaller, and the stories are less and less deeply researched. I still get it, but a lot of days I feel like a modern day Don Quixote.
HR was glad to use the protests as an excuse for the firing. They needed a good sounding reason since all of these writers were going to be replaced by AI anyway.

A reminder to support your local news and investigative journalism

What if your local news is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group?

Then they're not local and you can say fuckem.

The best journalism I see these days is either done by big names like AP or random dudes with cellphones.

Or as a closed-caption error the other day spelled it, Don Coyote. 🐺 As another LATimes subscriber, I agree.

Sounds like union busting.

It sounds like union busting, which is a terrible reason for everyone but their investors—who can’t see past this quarter’s profits.
