I recently became more interested in the Los Angeles Times articles on Zodiac when I noticed them using the term No 5 and Zodiac then using "no nine" in the same manner in the letter to Belli.
There were many, many Zodiac articles written in the L.A. Times.
1969 ARTICLES – FOUR in 1969 were front page headlines:
*10/15: Chilling Portrait of Madness (FIRST ZODIAC ARTICLE I COULD FIND) – PAGE 1
*10/16: Zodiac Kills Fifth Victim – PAGE 1
10/17: School Bus Drivers Alerted – BA8
*10/19: Hunt Pushed for Zodiac Killer – PAGE AA
10/21: LE Agencies Combine: PAGE 3
10/23: Call to Belli "I want help" – PAGE 1
10/24: Zodiac Calls Belli Again – PAGE 3
11/9: Teacher Poisened – PAGE A
*11/12: He’s Killed Seven – PAGE 1
11/22: Man, 33 Shot to Death by Police not Zodiac – PAGE A10
12/28: Letter to Belli – PAGE B
*I have these articles.

“…they may be dealing with one or more ersatz Zodiacs–other psychotics eager to get into the act, or perhaps even other murderers eager to lay their crimes at the real Zodiac’s doorstep.“ L.A. Times, 1969

How many of these articles showed written letters from the Zodiac?
That link is defunct. The L.A. Times archives moved to Newspapers.com.
Not sure I want to re-sub (since Zodiac only sent one letter to them)…has anyone else looked?
