So, we’re a weekly paper that comes out on Thursday, and this guy is refusing to buy our Sunday edition because we destroyed the TV listings we never carried … or was he talking to Wiley?

Now that you chose to destroy the tv listings I’ll no longer buy your Sunday edition. Which , by the way was the only paper
i buy since i dropped your daily editions.

I agree about the Sunday comics section in LA Times. The one at the rival LA Daily News is better, IMO.

Good for the Baltimore Herald.

Meanwhile, the L.A. Times has a good daily selection of comics, but its Sunday offering is just pathetic. One of its pages is full of comics. the other is just filled with a lot of jun, kids’ stories and puzzles and such. There must be loads of real comics out there the Times could include if it wasn’t so cheap about filling its Sunday comics pages.

If what Wiley suggests were to happen, half the journalists in the country would be unemployed.

Now that, Wiley, is an inspired idea. Stock tables, TV listings, even weather … the info is so better presented and available on other media.

Maybe the next time they feel the need to have a poll, perhaps they should pit all features against each other instead of comics vs. comics. Let’s have a readers poll on which features in general should stay or go, so to save money and create more space for what readers want most, they can cut, say, crossword puzzles instead of comics.

If they’re REALLY interested in what the readers want, or don’t want, then such polls should cut a wider swath of features instead of just focusing on just one. Then perhaps they will finally learn that it’s mostly the comics that’s holding what little readership they have left… and keeping them employed.

Yeah. Good for them. Good for the readers who complained and good for the editors who listened.

Maybe their example will help insure that comics will be one of the last things to cut rather than one of the first.
