Los Angeles has a lone on-the-air show dedicated to perusing the local media: Deadline L.A. on KPFK-FM (90.7). It airs every Sunday from noon to 12:30, looking at "news and news culture." This week, host Barbara Osborn talks to Steve Appleford and Dean Kuipers, the top editor and managing editor of CityBEAT and ValleyBEAT. The papers are three issues old now, a good point for Osborn -- who created Deadline L.A. six years ago -- to check in and ask how many weeklies can the city sustain.
Sunday on 'Deadline L.A.'
