The LA Times and other metro dailies are cutting back even more. You have to have lived in LA for twenty years like I have to realize that the now wafer thin LAT is on life support. This paper used to be thicker than the New York Times, ad heavy to a fault with sections on almost anything you can think of; paper boys couldn't toss the Sunday edition onto apartment front doors from the first floor; now they can flip them as high as the third floor. The paper is now mostly a ten to twenty page nothing were it not for the movie ads. They still won't face the fact that the now left wing paper with false stories, contrived news, and slants that even spread to the sports section is as much responsible for circulation drop as is the internet. Is there a future for local dailies at all? I think so, if you check the New York Times lately they are publishing lengthy detailed stories about narrowly focused subjects and the interactive charts are terrific. Go here and start clicking, every photo has a ton more; you could spend twenty minutes on this section alone and there is no way their print edition can do this. Even their sports section, focused on New York teams naturally, has click after click to deeper info. This IS the future of News, if there is a future.
