Jones’ Column

I write magazine articles for a living, and nothing delights me more than to find good writing--writing that transcends reporting--in the news media.

The feature articles that you run on the front page, left-hand column, are consistently good.The writers take obscure subjects (such as where artists live in Los Angeles) and make them interesting.

But the high point of my week is the new column, “On California,” written by Robert A. Jones. Whether he’s talking about real estate or a football team, Jones is concise, entertaining and insightful.
