The new 'less newsy' look is part of a redesign that's been hashed out over the last several weeks. The note says the paper will be "more reader-friendly" but acknowledges the changes were hastened by a desire to cut newsprint costs. The note also echoes Editor Carolina Garcia's pledge last week to focus almost solely the Valley:
We thank you for your loyal support as we confront this troubled economy. We are committed to producing a relevant local news report that is focused on the San Fernando Valley.From the rumor file: I've heard rumblings that the Daily News plans to put its Valencia printing plant up for sale as early as next month. I'm not sure if that would mean restarting the presses in West Covina, since the three San Gabriel Valley papers are currently printed in Valencia, or if the DN and its SGV sisters would be outsourced to Southwest Offset Printing, which prints the Daily Breeze*.
*Originally I said the Press-Telegram was printed at SOP. It's printed in Valencia.

The Stress Telegram is still printed in Valencia. SOP only handles the Sunday edtion insert package.
These losers couldn't get wet if they fell in the ocean, trying all kinds of s**tty "ideas" to stay afloat. As long as Lambert and the rest of the decision-making idiots lead the way, they're going to continue going in ever-closing circles into oblivion.
Amonth or so ago if not longer I said printing will be outsourced and it wont be back at SGVN. More pressman gone and soon they won't have any more to sell or cut except what is left of their self worth. Ain't going to get much for that. Great leadership LANG.
I never thought today's Daily News could get worse...I was wrong.
The presses in west covina can't handle the new web width, forgot to mention that earlier. There are other issues as well that don't make that a viable option at all. Outsource here we come.
as rodney king said, can't we all just get a dog?
