By: Staff Reports Weekly Stand-Alone Will Cover Consumer Technology





The Los Angeles Times said it will launch a new weekly personal technology section called "Tech Times" next week. Appearing on Thursdays, the stand-alone section will cover consumer-oriented coverage of electronics, home and entertainment technology, personal computing, telecommunications, the Internet, and computer and video games.


The section was developed by the newspaper's business staff, and will include features and columns that currently run in the Thursday business section's The Cutting Edge: Focus on Personal Technology.



"Tech Times" will also feature columns by the newspaper's personal technology columnist David Wilson, formerly of the San Jose Mercury News, syndicated columnist Larry Magid, and Jim Heid, contributing editor at Macworld magazine.



Features appearing in "Tech Times" will appear online at latimes.com/tech, where breaking technology news will run throughout the day.



"We want 'Tech Times' to be a place where technophiles and technophobes can feel comfortable," said Aaron Curtiss, the section's editor.
