Editor Leaving L.A. Times

A month after the Tribune Co. forced out the publisher of the Los Angeles Times, the paper’s editor is also out the door. New Times publisher David Hiller told employees via e-mail Tuesday that editor Dean Baquet was leaving effective Nov. 10. Hiller took the helm of the Times in early October following the ouster of former publisher Jeff Johnson. Since then, he and Baquet have talked to see if they were on the same page is terms of strategy, Hiller wrote. “After considerable discussion, we concluded that we have significant differences on future direction,” Hiller wrote in the e-mail. Chicago Tribune Managing Editor Jim O’Shea replaces Baquet. The relations between the Times and its corporate parent in the Tribune Tower in Chicago can be best described as uneasy. Tribune came to own the Times following its purchase of Times Mirror Co. in 2000.
