LA Times editor refuses to make cuts
Cory Bergman September 15th, 2006
In a time where newspapers everywhere are cutting back staff, LA Times Editor Dean Baquet is defying Tribune’s corporate management and refusing to lay off employees. The paper’s publisher, Jeffrey Johnson, is backing him up. “Newspapers can’t cut their way into the future,” Johnson said, quoted in a LA Times story. The LA Times has cut 200 newsroom positions in the last five years. “I am not averse to making cuts,” Baquet said. “But you can go too far, and I don’t plan to do that.” The unusual LA Times showdown is the latest challenge for Tribune. The corporation is under pressure from its largest shareholder, the Chandler family, to puts its assets up for sale.

I’m not a big fan of the LA Times, but I do have respect for a guy who’ll stand up and protect his people and his product from the cut, cut, cut mentality of the corporate pencil pushers and bean counters. I wish him luck.
