A letter to the readers of Patrick Soon-Shiong MD, Executive President of La Times

Dear reader,

I am proud to announce the next evolution of La Times to better engage with our audience. Today, we are publishing new features to improve and improve our digital product, integrating live video, podcasts and features generated by AI in a transparent experience.

Times Studios now produces video broadcasting content daily with news, features and other interest programs for our community. Available directly on the Los Angeles Times home page, this content includes continuous live cameras from emblematic sites in Los Angeles, from Hollywood to Malibu.

Today, we are starting a new effort to ensure that readers can easily distinguish content focused on the opinion of our reports. Any content written from a point of view can be labeled votes, which helps to strengthen the separation between what is news and what is not. Voices are not strictly limited to the content of the opinion section. It also includes news comments, criticism, criticism, etc. If a piece takes a position or is written in a personal perspective, it can be labeled.

We also publish Insights, a functionality led by AI which will appear on certain voices of content. The purpose of the information is to offer readers an instantly accessible way to see a wide range of different compatible AI prospects as well as the positions presented in the article. I believe that providing more varied points of view supports our journalistic mission and will help readers navigate in the problems faced.

We have added these new features to encourage public commitment and interaction with time and our content. I believe that the media evolves, and the Times is well positioned to show the way.

We will remain faithful to our mission statement, which says:

“We strive to take into account different perspectives, especially if they do not line up with ours, to inform our opinions. Our hope is to present arguments and analyzes that can help our readers navigate complex questions or, at the very least, to give them a well -considered way of thinking about the problems of the day. »»

We invite your thoughts and I hope you will find these useful and enlightening innovations.

Patrick Soon-Shiong, MD
