Los Angeles Times Editor Resigns
This article is from the archive of The New York Sun before the launch of its new website in 2022. The Sun has neither altered nor updated such articles but will seek to correct any errors, mis-categorizations or other problems introduced during transfer.
The Los Angeles Times editor, Dean Baquet, is leaving the paper just weeks after the paper’s publisher, Jeff Johnson, was forced to resign following a dispute with the paper’s parent, Tribune Co., over cost cuts.
Mr. Baquet confirmed his departure in an e-mail to his staff minutes after the news broke in the Wall Street Journal online and on a local Web site.
A spokesman for the Times did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
