Newspapers & Magazines

The Los Angeles Times is L.A.'s only major daily metropolitan newspaper. The LA Weekly is L.A.'s largest free weekly newspaper, containing extensive film, art, and music coverage in addition to social and political commentary, though its 2006 acquisition by former rival New Times left its editorial future uncertain at this writing. The conservative Daily News provides the full range of news coverage, with a particular emphasis on local San Fernando Valley news. The L.A. Daily Journal is L.A.'s legal newspaper. La Opinion is a daily Spanish-language newspaper providing coverage of news, sports, and entertainment. Its competitor, Hoy Los Angeles, hit the southern California market in 2004. Los Angeles Magazine is a glossy mix of celebrity, lifestyle, and food articles, plus extensive restaurant and activities listings.
