Great news today here in Irvine. We have a new community newspaper!

Given the cutbacks in print journalism, I am thrilled to see a Editor and Publisher Franklin J. Lunding providing a new independent voice -- and I have an idea how we can all help.

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."


Here's how to help:

Irvine News and Views proudly states:

You are invited to share your views with me and other Irvine residents by writing a letter to:  Editor, Irvine Community News and Views,  4199 Campus Drive, #550 Irvine, 92614; or email us at IrvineCNV@aol.com Please inlcude your name and phone number.  We do not publish anonymous letters.  We reserve the right to edit letters for space considerations.

I invite everyone to support this brave new venture by sending an email to the editor.  Since I know how tough those space considerations can be, I'll do my part by publishing your letter here on OC BLog if it doesn't turn up in the next issue. My email address is garbage11 at  cox dot net.
