Times Faxes News to Troops in Gulf
The Los Angeles Times is sending a daily news digest to troops in the Persian Gulf, using facsimile transmission to deliver the newspaper. The eight-page digest includes news from the gulf, the world, the nation and California, as well as comics and sports.
The Times is sending the news digest to the military command in Riyadh, which, in turn, is sending it to troop units from all the services equipped with fax receivers.
In addition, The Times is working with Marine units at Camp Pendleton to deliver copies of the full newspaper.
U.S. military officials and reservists have said that the troops want regular news service.
