LAT Readers' Representative Journal Russ Stanton tells his staff: "I have come to the reluctant conclusion that, even as a monthly, the magazine is something we cannot afford to continue at a time of diminishing newsroom resources. So the editorial department will stop producing it after the July issue, and we'll be looking to find jobs for the magazine staff within the paper." The business department will put out the magazine, and "contrary to
reports, it is my understanding that the group has yet to hire a staff for this publication, including an editor," says the editor.
