Magazines

Kudos from the east

Today's New York Post praises our friends at Los Angeles magazine in a piece reviewing the best of city magazines around the country:

Like the city it covers, Los Angeles seems glossy and superficial - until you get to know it. That's because the mag touts lighter fare, such as a special travel cover, before getting to meatier matters, in-depth pieces that reflect the true character of the city. We liked the honest and moving portrayal of students from the projects out to win the city's top academic contest and were impressed by business coverage on the stock-options back-dating scandal that took down KB Homes CEO Bruce Karatz.

What's especially nice about that is the Karatz piece was reported and written by Mark Lacter of LA Biz Observed — no matter what the front page of the still-stumbling website says.
