Spectrum is seemingly trying to engage through focusing on local stories. And in SoCal this man is my new hero.

The billionaire who bought the LA Times: ‘Hipsters will want paper soon’

Patrick Soon-Shiong despises clickbait and says the future belongs to quality journalism. Will his gamble pay off?

And I appreciate his worldview born of his own family tradition.

Soon-Shiong: Michele and I both come from Hakka families. The original Hakka in China believed in total community collaboration, and the warrior is the woman, and she is as strong as the man.

I'm embarrassed to say I knew nothing about this new owner and his impressive life story. He seems to be functioning extremely well under the radar.
