Sellers will no longer be able to demand their houses be advertised in the LA Times real estate section because the major, super-dooper, massive,incredibly big newspaper has killed this special section.  More accurately, it has combined real estate with the Home and Sunday Business sections, according to Inman News.  The new look will no longer contain syndicated real estate columns, but will feature real estate releated news throughout the week,

Lauren Beale, real estate editor for the Los Angeles Times, wrote in a July 27 blog post at the newspaper’s L.A. Land blog, "because of reductions in staff and space, the Sunday Real Estate section has printed its final edition."

She noted that the newspaper would continue to publish real estate coverage throughout the week and a few regular features of the section would continue in the Saturday "Home" and Sunday "Business" sections.

My friend the newspaper editor (her nickname appropriately is "Newscoma") has written extensively about the decline of the "dead tree news business" and I think the failure of the LA Times real estate section clearly shows visible evidence of yet another nail in the coffin.
