For now, my role model is David Geffen

David Geffen--part of Dreamworks, which does so much for AIDS Walk; donated a buttload of money to the UCLA School of Medicine; and most admirably, wants to buy the LA Times and make it a more local paper.

This guy really loves LA, and he's really got good heart and intentions. From the LA Weekly:

"David Geffen wants to own the Los Angeles Times and put it back under local control, as well as make it a real must-read."

Everybody knows how seriously and unfortunately disconnected Angelenos are with their city. They are either

1. Too into the rest of the world, and therefore overlook the local, or
2. Too disinterested in the world altogether.

If indeed the LA Times becomes a real newspaper, with real staff writers, rather than mostly newswire stories, I would die for the opportunity to work there!
