Drex Heikes Responds to Neon Tommy Piece

We asked LA Weekly's new editor Drex Heikes what was true in the Neon Tommy profile. Are they going to be hiring more reporters? What is the future of the paper? "The kid who wrote it was first rate. I wish it had been more about the paper and less about yours truly. I asked him several times to focus on the paper because I could tell he was going all messiah, which is utterly misguided," Heikes tells FBLA. Noting, "The websites advisors are both former Weekly employees. I wonder what happened...

LA Weekly's 'New Guard' Slams LA Weekly's 'Old Guard'

Last Friday, in response to an article by student-run Neon Tommy, the LA Weekly ran a post on its daily blog harshly critical of the paper prior to it's acquisition in 2006 by the owners of the New Times chain (now Village Voice Media). The author of the post, Dennis Romero, all but declared that a new golden era has arrived at the paper, rescuing readers from what they gladly picked up for nearly three decades. It's a strangely schizophrenic and defensive piece of propaganda, and probably not e...
