L.A. Times' parent company will close three Times Community Newspaper publications and lay off 14 employees as it makes budget cuts during coronavirus crisis.
The Los Angeles Times’ parent company, California Times, is folding three award-winning community newspapers that serve the cities of Burbank, Glendale and La Cañada Flintridge.
The decision comes as The Times, and other news organizations, grapple with staggering losses in advertising revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic and local stay-at-home orders. Advertisers have withdrawn their advertising buys, forcing publishers to make cuts to their businesses.
The publications each have won multiple awards from the California Newspapers Publishers Assn., the Los Angeles Press Club and other organizations.The Los Angeles Times purchased the News-Press and Leader in 1993 and the Valley Sun in 2005. The papers, which became part of The Times Community News division, were inserted into The Times and also distributed for free at local businesses and in newspaper racks.
