Here's the note to readers:
Due to major technological issues, the print edition of your Press-Telegram is incomplete today. The inability to transmit several pages in multiple sections forced a decision to substitute some similar content from some of the P-T's sister papers in the L.A. Newspaper Group. All efforts will be made to get you all the content you missed via the website and/or the Saturday morning print edition, preferably both. We realize this resulted in the exclusion of some important local content (high school sports, local news) and some shortened versions of other stories. We regret the inconvenience that this has caused.While a computer glitch could affect any publication, the fact that Press-Telegram substituted the Tribune as backup is a reminder of just how consolidated the LANG papers already are. After all, the two sports sections are designed and edited on a single copy desk based in the San Gabriel Valley. When a computer problem hits the Press-Telegram copy desk, it hits all of the paper's copy desks.
*Update: One-for-all indeed. Both the Daily Breeze and the Daily News had non-local sports pages as well due to the same glitch (Notes to readers in the DB and DN). h/t LA Observed.

This company needs to be taken over, not take over others.
Too funny. LANG/MNG at its best (or worst?)!
Karma is a Bitch !
And so the crazies are really running the asylum. Arkham Asylum lives.
They were unable to transmit their own pages but did get other papers' pages into their own. How unprofessional. Close it now and give subscribers their money back.
not many subs left...give all the execs raises.
Attaboy Hamilton and your band of loons.
Not just sports, all our local news content at the DB was filled with P-T stories today. They're running today's stories tomorrow.

Yes, by all means, let's consolidate everything. Karma, indeed. Would love more karma with a one-day sickout LANG-wide.
