LA Times: Too Lazy to Take New Pictures of Long Beach
On September 28, the LA Times had a story in the California section about the growing pains of Long Beach. It featured a picture of young people chillin in line for a club.
On October 19, the LA Times cover story for the Calendar Weekend section was on the great night life in Long Beach. It featured the exact same photo in its montage centerfold spread. The exact same photo. If I, a casual reader of the LA Times (along with two other daily newspapers) saw the discrepancy, what exactly was happening in the editing room?
Of course, this weirdness does not pan out in the online edition. For some reason, the paper is incapable of reproducing its own graphics, let alone accompanying photos for all articles. It's a shame really. The duplicated photo is highlighted on the right side in the online edition from Sept 28 and no photos accompany the online edition of the Calendar section cover story from Oct 19.
