Making Sense of the Dramatic Purge at the LA Times
Posted in: Uncategorized
Props to the Los Angeles Times for a story about its internal drama that’s as blunt as what just happened: “Ross Levinsohn is named the new publisher and CEO of the L.A. Times as top editors are ousted.”
Times reporter Meg James writes,
In a dramatic shake-up at the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago-based parent company has installed new leadership … Ross Levinsohn, 54, a veteran media executive who worked at Fox and served as interim chief of Yahoo, was named publisher and chief executive of the 135-year-old news organization. The move was announced Monday by Justin C. Dearborn, chief executive of Tronc, the parent company of The Times and eight other daily newspapers. Jim Kirk, 52, a veteran Chicago news executive, who was publisher and editor of the Chicago Sun-Times until last week, was named interim executive editor of The Times.
