LAObserved observed

The Los Angeles Independent has a nice profile of Kevin Broderick and his newsblog, LAObserved.com. In The Man Who Watches Over L.A., the former LATimesman is called "possibly the most respected journalist in town." LAObserved, writes the Independent, "is a forum on local politics, the media and Los Angeles that has become an online salon for journalists and political junkies, especially early in the day when the Web site often offers a condensed compilation of the best stories in the Times, The Daily News and other newspapers or weeklies that morning."
