The E-Edition lets you navigate an exact replica of the printed newspaper. You can flip through pages and skim headlines just as you would with the printed newspaper in your hands. View articles, photos, games and comics with the click of a button.The subscription is $6 for those already getting the printed edition and $65 a year for those who want the e-edition only.
No word yet when LANG's Inland division papers will offer the service.

So people already subscribing for nothing on the print side have to pay for the online side? And $65 for the online site if you don't subscribe? What a crock. 65 cents I can see. What a joke.
whaaaaat????
is this the i-news thingie with the printers?
Where do I sign up?
bye bye baby, good by! good technology for print has been around for at least five years. what makes these gurus think that this can be made into a revenue producing model. not to mention the wealth of news you can find in the lang newspapers...local and international.
this seems a day late and a dollar short. how come no lang employees even know about this. no one said it was launching. craaaaazy. in the communication biz and they don't even inform us. have to find out via this blog.
Why would a news agency inform anyone of anything? The element of surprise is what's keeping the business afloat.
Are they putting an exact replica of the printed edition with more content than the print edition has? If not, why would anyone pay a red cent to get it online? I can go to Yahoo or many other places and read AP.
exactly...why can't the brilliand management team figure it out if it is that obvious?
Phillip Sanfield as interim publisher for Torrance and Long Beach. I guess they haven't quite figured out it is about revenue yet. Fred Hamilton, you have been with this organization for about two years. You have a number of years of experience. You have been in budget meetings, operating meetings etc. hearing all about those newspapers. You have a past publisher as interim publisher of the Daily News to fill in the gaps. Exactly how much time do you need to figure out who should publish the newspapers? No offense to good old Phillip, I am sure he knows how to get revenue back.
$65 bucks for those rags? NO.
What I love is that they're trying to get extra money out of the people already dumb enough to subscribe to the shrunken print version. Way to add insult to injury.
Letter to the Medianews rich laden talent pool of owners/managers:
IT WON'T WORK.
The rich get richer while the papers and talent pool at LANG get smaller. Great work.
So I already won't even put a couple quarters in a news rack for the thing, and yet they expect me to give them $65 bucks for a printer?
LOL and people wonder why newspapers are failing.
The SB Sun and Daily Bulletin have just launched their e-editions too.
