Malibu publisher buys 'Political Pulse'

The semi-monthly newsletter of insider notes on state and L.A. politics was started by longtime Sacramento hands Bud Lembke and Larry Lynch. They are retiring and have sold Political Pulse to Arnold York and his son Anthony, reports the bulletin of the California Newspaper Publishers Assn. The senior York used to work for the state Senate and is editor and co-owner (with his wife) of the Malibu Times. Anthony will assume editorial control of Political Pulse. He used to be an associate editor at California Journal and a Washington correspondent for Salon.com. All according to CNPA.
