The "Irvine Community News and Views" clearly understands that we live in a visual age:  half of the front page features a glowing color picture of three-fourths of the Keep Irvine Great Team:  Sukhee Kang,  Beth Krom, and Larry Agran.  Perhaps Todd Gallinger was busy that day.

Larry Agran also gets a two page profile inside.   I do have some concerns about their marketing department: the only ad in the entire paper is from the Keep Irvine Great Team. Oddly, Neither Christina Shea, Stephen Choi, nor Pat Rodgers appear anywhere in the editorial content.

Still, I am sure this is a legitimate paper: it says right on the front page "This document was prepared by the Community News and Views inc dba Irvine Community News & Views, not an official political party organization."
