Lifted the print LA Times lately?

Today's front or main news section of the Los Angeles Times has just 12 printed pages. That includes the two pages devoted to editorials and op-ed — and with the only content on page A2 a Steve Lopez column. Tuesday's A section also had just 12 pages, with page 12 entirely taken up by a 99 Cents Only store ad. No full-page ad on 12 today, just the jumps of front-page stories.

Today's Daily News front section has 18 printed pages, including the opinion pages — the last three pages are all ads, so there's DN content on 15 pages. That's not a comparison of the two papers. The Times has much more content than the Daily News beyond the front section, and more staff-written reporting than the DN in the A section.

Friday's A section of the LA Times had 34 pages.
