The skinny on getting placement for your organization

New Los Angeles Times edition targets D.C., New York and Northern California. On Oct. 5, the Times launched a new daily National Edition including sections devoted to news, business, sports and features.

Contacts for the National Edition are the same for all sections, as the Times is not generating new stories, but repackaging.

The Times also will run the National Edition on Sundays with the following sections: Calendar, Book Review, Travel, Life & Style and the Los Angeles Times Magazine.

All ideas should be sent to the Los Angeles Times, Times Mirror Square, Los Angeles Calif., 90053. Contact information: National Editor: Scott Kraft; Business Editor: Bill Sing; Sports Editor: Bill Dwyre; Managing Editor, features: John P. Lindsay; Life & Style Editor: Michelle Williams; Magazine Editor: Alice Short.
