Major Editorial Shake-up at 'L.A. Times'

[dave502d]

NEW YORK The Los Angeles Times editorial pages are seeing major shake-ups, both in staff and content approach. These changes will include more involvement by readers and other non-staffers, as well as a slightly smaller editorial board.

The new approach was explained in Sunday's Los Angeles Times, which announced the changes through an editor's note from Editorial Page Editor Andres Martinez. From now on, the paper will allow editorial writers to pen signed pieces (once a year) that go against the paper's editorial position. In his note, Martinez cited writer Judy Dugan's "strong rebuttal to our editorial endorsing the Republican Senate leadership's efforts to kill the filibuster" as an example.
