Lifeguard Safety Issues

Same issue, same author, different spin. The Long Beach Press-Telegram is also reporting on the issue of lifeguard vehicle accidents on the beach. The other article (from the L.A. Daily News) was posted here Monday. While both articles were written by Staff Writer Troy Anderson, the Press-Telegram places a different spin on the issue, headlining it as the ‘Unexpected Danger Haunting L.A. Beaches’, contrasted with the less-dramatic writeup on the costs to L.A. County and the lifeguard’s efforts to improve their safety record reported in the Daily News.
