Success story …

… The Los Angeles Review of Books turned 10 this year - Los Angeles Times. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

… the mainstream media landscape has in many ways continued to wither, as local papers fold at an accelerating pace and only one big standalone newspaper book review survives in the U.S. At the same time, an undergrowth of journals and websites has begun to mature, exposed to sunlight that once shined only on the media Sequioas. And the LARB, albeit still a scrappy upstart in comparison to namesakes in New York and London, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a sense of pride and even vindication.
