Aaron Kushner, publisher and co-owner of the OC Register, announced his plans to launch a new daily newspaper focused on hyper-local journalism in the near future, according to an article published on the Orange County Register website on 12 December. “We will be delivering a Los Angeles Register to the entirety of Los Angeles County,” Kushner said.

Kushner – who has added more than 200 people to its news staff in the past year – plans to use existing Orange County Register staff to produce the new Los Angeles Register. Journalists working in Los Angeles will be covering local news.

“We will have effectively three editions of the Register serving 15 million people in Orange County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County and Los Angeles County,” Kushner said.

In addition, he announced intentions to launch a not yet specified number of community weeklies for Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is a highly competitive market as the region currently is served by the Los Angeles Times and Los Angeles Daily News (MediaNews Group) among others.
