Elizabeth, was this Maria La Ganga? FWIW I have looked up some of her work, and she is at least not another Deb Saunders. She seems to be a straight-edged news reporter and not a feature or op-ed writer, and her topics tend to lean towards the left: http://articles.latimes.com/2009/dec/10/local/la-me-chihuahuas10-2009dec10 http://articles.latimes.com/2010/jun/16/local/la-me-fort-bragg-killing-20100 616 http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Calif.+motorist+gets+three+years+over+road-rag e+killing+of+dog.-a076532700 http://articles.latimes.com/2009/mar/30/local/me-green-cabs30 Much of La Ganga's LA Times work is not directly available without a subscription (same as WSJ and NYT) but I found her articles cited in several, generally left-leaning blogs or op-ed pages. I am sure that you did a great job relating our case to her. It will be interesting to see what gets printed. --VH From: media-advisors-bounces@mickaboo.org [mailto:media-advisors-bounces@mickaboo.org] On Behalf Of Elizabeth Y Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010 12:38 PM To: Mickaboo media advisor team Subject: [Media-advisors] Just interviewed I just hung up with the LA Times reporter. Scary. I'm sure with as responsible and measured and appropriate as I tried to be that I said some juicy/idiotic/misconstrueable stuff upon which journalists are preternaturally able to pounce. I did my best. 8 P I second Jonathan's nomination of Maggie to this team. e Elizabeth Y www.RescueReport.org
