Pacific Palisades paper stages comeback after fire

THE CHILLING EFFECT

- Clara Harter, Tribune News Service

After the loss of thousands of family homes and businesses to the Palisades fire, the subsequent closing of the community’s nearly century-old newspaper felt like yet another a gut punch.

But as the infrastructure of the Palisades rises from the ashes, The Palisadian-Post is preparing to stage an unexpected comeback. Longtime Pacific Palisades residents Laura and Tim Schneider purchased the paper and intend to relaunch it with a brand-new website on May 4, coinciding with the publication's 98th anniversary. “Laura and | are deeply committed not only to Pacific Palisades, but to the future of local journalism and community news,” Tim Schneider said, “It's going be a labor of love to rebuild the newspaper and we hope that by doing so, we can speed up the recovery of Pacific Palisades.”
