Santa Barbara Star Free-Press

And a fab WEST mag it was. Now bring back the OUTDOORS sec! It was huge up here. The Star is so glad to see the Times coming to our market. It's HUGE up here for you in terms of readership and boom demographics, and given the piece in WEST you can see that North County is stretching up Paso Robles way as well.

We need a newspaper up here, instead of the pithy, useless unethical rag we have.

KTYD is the place for your spots, LAT.

By now, most all have heard of the lawsuit filed against the SBNP by former employees regarding their working conditions. How disgusting in this day and age to think one can run a paper like some kind of Dark Age citadel.

One might ask of Mr. Alcorn after reading his editorial "Why would god do something like that?" -- Why would you, as CFO, do something like that to your employees? Or perhaps one might ask the same of Ms. Apodaca. If they have violated the law with their practices, we trust Mr. Anticouni to sort it all out in the courts.

Basically, in Santa Barbara -- we need you LA Times, because you are a newspaper, and not a standing joke.
