La Times and some new tricks

The La Times and editor Russ Stanton decided to come up with a very clever idea to help with the growth of rising new editors.

Stanton, a well recognized editor for the La Times, took 25 editors to the South Bay this week for a beachfront "offsite" to help figure out the newsroom and its digital future

Their goal was to direct a three year plan for newsgathering opertaions. I personally believe this is something well thought of and could possibly do lots of good. With the uniquness of this idea comes alot of attention, I think. I am very curious to see how this plan unfolds and what the outcome is.

But I ask you, do you think this will be a good idea, or just a waste of the LA times' money?

I think this is a good idea and LA Times is not wasting its money. It sounds like it will help the growth of rising new editors.

I believe that the LA Times have a good idea. This is a way to improve and be inventive with the technology we have today. LA Times is not wasting their money, they are using it for the future of editors all around. i would like to see the outcome of all of this when they complete it. It just might turn me around to a different career path.
