Death of an Edition

This is to let you know how upset I am that The Los Angeles Times is no longer going to have a San Diego edition.

Before you write and tell me that The Times is still going to be available in San Diego, you should know that I know this and will stop buying it.

I am one who seriously appreciates (and needs) good journalism. The Times has been one of my main sources of news in the region ever since I moved here from Chicago almost six years ago. Now I will have to resort to the Union-Tribune, which is one of the least-objective papers in the country. One of the things San Diego most needs is objective and intelligent reporting on San Diego issues. This will no longer exist.

I am most upset because this is a betrayal. Now that the San Diego edition is not as profitable, sure, all you have to do is pull out. This is a typical example of an irresponsible corporation; one of the growing problems in our world today. If corporations are to be as important in our society as they are becoming, then they must be held accountable.
