Being Positive at the L.A. Times

Patterico's Pontifications

Ken Reich, former L.A. Times reporter, says the paper should be more positive. Even -- occasionally -- with the Bush Administration:

<<<
The big newspapers have to seize their opportunities to be positive, even occasionally on the Bush Administration, when it does something right. Don't tell me, it never does anything right. We are hurting ourselves, more than George W. Bush by being so negative.
>>>

He says that he argued for more positive stories when he worked at the paper, and ran into resistance.

It's really too bad that the L.A. Times "insider" blog is no more. I would like to hear the inside scoop on such discussions nowadays.
