LAT Moving Forward With Advertiser Catalogue

Sorry journalism ethicists and angry Tribune Co. employees: The Los Angeles Times' magazine LA is going ahead as planned, by which we mean "controlled by the paper's business unit," and will debut Sept. 7. The decision to move the magazine to the publishing side of the newspaper, and remove any editorial department involvement, is the clearest sign yet that these glossy titles exist solely to serve advertiser interests, which will come as a surprise to anybody who has never picked up, say, The New York Times Magazine.
