Sports reporter Fred Robledo says the LANG blogs appear to be working again, but the problems with Unisys - the database used to publish the print editions - persist:
It's working, it's working
It looks like the blog is working again, or starting to work again. It appears the comments are showing up in minutes and so are my blog topics. Hopefully it keeps getting quicker. At the Tribune we're in "Day Three" of a major computer system failure. We're emailing stories to our editors, and deadlines are ridiculously early to make sure we get a paper published. The Whittier Daily News, Pasadena Star-News and Tribune local stories are all going on the same page to make it easier to get the paper out. It might be like this through the weekend so be patient, we'll have this straightened out soon. Just be glad it's not happening during the playoffs.

One of the truly impressive things in journalism -- at least at the grunt level -- is how editors, reporters and photographers work together to put out a paper under almost impossible circumstances.
There's a "show must go on" quality to it that is very admirable, at least when you realize how little these people are paid compared to the folks who cause the problems by investing in cheap equipment.
Bravo to the working writers, editors and shooters of LANG!
Blogging and social media are on boom. Most of the print publishers are using this feature to circulate their editions. There are some companies like Pressmart Media helping the publisher to distribute through above channels. I think these mediums will make huge difference in future in print publishing industry.
