I never lived in LA and I have an LA Times subscriptions. As far as I can tell, it is still provides quality journalism, despite some questionable decision making. I keep supporting it primarily because I feel like if it goes under then it will leave a big news void on the west coast. I try to support local media in addition to some of the big brands
It's just getting smaller and smaller, and the stories are less and less deeply researched. I still get it, but a lot of days I feel like a modern day Don Quixote.
