LakersBeat launches with independent news, analysis, game coverage and original video focused on the Los Angeles Lakers.
Welcome to LakersBeat, a new independent media outlet dedicated to covering the Los Angeles Lakers.
Our goal is straightforward: provide fans with timely, accurate and accessible coverage while adding useful context beyond the headline. The publication will follow the team throughout the regular season, playoffs, offseason and NBA calendar.
What Readers Can Expect
LakersBeat will provide breaking news, game coverage, roster and injury updates, analysis, interviews and original video. Coverage will be based on original reporting, official announcements, direct interviews and clearly attributed information from credible sources.
News and opinion will be identified appropriately. When an error is confirmed, the publication will correct it transparently and as quickly as possible.
Built in Los Angeles
LakersBeat was founded by Los Angeles sports media publisher and producer Roger Arrieta. Arrieta is also the founder and publisher of DodgersBeat, an independent credentialed media outlet covering the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the producer of the Bleed Los Podcast Network.
His experience includes reporting from professional clubhouses and press conferences, conducting player and team interviews, producing original video, and overseeing multilingual sports coverage.
That same commitment to professional sports journalism will guide this outlet’s coverage of the Lakers and the NBA. Readers can learn more about our publication on the About page.
Follow @LakersBeat on X and Instagram for breaking updates, videos and continuing coverage. Questions, news tips and media inquiries can be submitted through our Contact page.
