I haven't picked up a newspaper to read in over thirty years.
I get all my news online.
I can't believe people still read newspapers.

Bob.

I get my news online, too. But the L.A. Times still hits our driveway every morning by 6 a.m.

They can't help it if print readership has fallen. Ya gotta make a buck. (You would not believe what a print subscription costs, either.)

Default From medicine to journalism

A major profile here. Curious mix of background and geography.


How Patrick Soon-Shiong Made His Fortune Before Buying the L.A. Times
The billionaire doctor has become one of Los Angeles’s most prominent civic leaders, after a boundary-pushing ascent in medicine.

Today, at sixty-nine, Patrick Soon-Shiong is worth at least eight billion dollars. He has been called the richest man in Los Angeles; he is one of the richest doctors in the world. He has taken four companies public and runs a medical-research initiative with a thousand employees and a half-dozen state-of-the-art laboratories. He is seeking a cure for cancer and developing his own covid-19 vaccine. He owns a portion of the Los Angeles Lakers, and in 2018 he bought the Los Angeles Times. The bungalow is now his guesthouse; over time, he has acquired twelve adjacent parcels of land and built a sprawling complex. The centerpiece is an underground basketball court, constructed according to N.B.A. regulations, beneath his living room. The court is illuminated by natural light, based on a design on which Soon-Shiong holds three patents. He hosts pickup games there; Kobe Bryant sometimes played.

For 4 years the whole paper was bashing Trump. It was kind of fun to read then, boring as hell now.
