Dodger Talk host Josh Suchon mentioned this in passing after last night's Dodger game on AM 790 KABC, and the folks at Mike Scioscia's Tragic Illness posted this morning, but it looks very evident that Dodger beat writer and Inside the Dodgers blogger Tony Jackson has been laid off from The Daily News. Emails to Jackson's Daily News account have bounced back, and the last post in his blog is about Scott Elbert being optioned back to AA Chatanooga. Update: Kevin Roderick at LA Observed posts about it including an excerpt from Jon Weisman at Dodger Thoughts.

Last night, Zócalo L.A. hosted a panel discussion at the Central Library to explore the question, “Who Really Runs L.A.?” The discussion, moderated by Mariel Garza of the Los Angeles Daily News, featured panelists Kerman Maddox, who works for public affairs consulting firm Dakota Communications; L.A. Weekly city hall reporter David Zahniser; political scientist and Director of Pat Brown Institute of Public Affairs at Cal State L.A. Jaime Regalado; and Los Angeles Magazine writer...

Music. Porn. Bearded ladies. Fighting birds. Naked old guys. You never know where a conversation with Petros Papadakis and Matt "Money" Smith will lead. In a city bursting with wannabe entertainers, these guys are genuinely entertaining. Petros was named Sports Host of the year in 2006 by the Los Angeles Daily News. While working at KROQ, Money claims to have turned the program director on to a little known group called Sublime. With a brand...

Pop singer Justin Timberlake, who's singlehandedly bringing sexy back, (we've just gotten ours, what about you?) is now a playah in the design game, a la Gwen Stefani, Diddy, J-Lo and the mogul who does it the best: Jay-Z. JT debuted his William Rast line on Tuesday night at the Social on Sunset Boulevard. And while Jay-Z's Rocawear just oozes hip and urban without really trying (Michael Knight should pay attention), LAist is still...

Last week's tragic loss of life on the Metrolink system has, perhaps inevitably, led to a discussion of whether the cost/benefit ratio of LA's commuter train service justifies the huge taxpayer subsidies needed to keep the trains rolling.

We here at LAist are always on the prowl for L.A.’s hottest new up and coming indie rock bands, and Something For Rockets just may be next. This hip, eclectic musical threesome features Rami Perlman, son of legendary violinist Itzhak Perlman, on lead vocals, Josh Eichenbaum on keyboards, and Barry Davis on the skins. LAist is a big fan of their first full length self-titled album, and we’d like to take this opportunity to pass on the good word.

LAist is really, well, just flummoxed with yesterday's senseless metrolink tragedy so although there are a few other interesting local stories in the papers today, we're going to focus solely on what The Los Angeles Times is calling the Tragedy on the Rails.

Los Angeles Daily News reporter and columnist Rick Orlov is a familiar face at City Hall. He should be—he’s covered the City Hall beat since 1988 and has been writing about politics for over 30 years.

The first LA mayoral debate, hosted last night at the Museum of Tolerance, probably wasn’t on the radar of local voters. Many are still worn out from the long presidential campaign that ended just a month ago; others are simply wrapped up in the holidays.

The Los Angeles Daily News reports today that the City of Los Angeles's "Housing Authority "inappropriately" shifted $30 million to a nonprofit agency last year to avoid paying the cost of issuing excess rental vouchers, a new federal audit says.

The Los Angeles Times reports today that "the California average price for self-serve regular gasoline has risen 30.8 cents a gallon in the last three weeks, according to a weekly survey by the Energy Information Administration."
