    The sprawling downtown plant where the Los Angeles Times is printed has
    been sold to a New York real estate developer that builds large-scale mixed-use complexes in Los Angeles and other cities.

    Well, they say print is dead ... newsprint
    doubly so. Bet that The LA Times transitions
    to an online-only product very soon.

    IMHO, print is superior for transmitting many kinds
    of info - the fact density can be extremely high - plus
    it's easy to flip back and forth and you can house-train
    yer puppy with it :-)

    But "online" is seen as more "green". Whether it REALLY
    is - once you factor in the energy and hardware needed
    to transmit and receive e-news - is debatable.

    On various news sites, I always go straight to the
    "Most Read" section and skip the drawn-out info-lean
    videos unless it's something requiring video like
    some action-event or drone footage of a disaster area.
    Some great vids of Russian tanks being blasted lately ...

    Some sites offer a transcript only option that's useful.
