LA Times has published its last Sunday Real Estate Section

July 29, 2008

Well, its official:  The Los Angeles Times has published its last Sunday real estate section of its newspaper

.  This real estate section has been a part of the newspaper since 1901.  Reasons for the removal are cited as staff & space reductions.  From an outside perspective, it would appear that the newspaper recognizes that it needs to cut costs to remain profitable, and that real estate is being taken overwhelmingly to the internet rather than by traditional print media.  It will be interesting to see if this trend is followed by the other major newspapers in the other metropolitan areas.  I have a feeling that this won’t be the last newspaper that cuts its real estate section from the news.

    Part of me is shocked that the time has come where print advertising is coming to an end, but then another part of me is really not that shocked because I get more an more leads from the internet than any other source for real estate leads.
