Los Angeles Times Watch: Andres Martinez Quits Over GrazerGate FLAP
Hugh Hewitt: The Continuing Collapse Of The Los Angeles Times UPDATE: Martinez Resigns
A few days back The Los Angeles Times trumpeted “the launch of a quarterly guest editor program for Current, the Sunday edition commentary section. Brian Grazer, Oscar® and Emmy®-winning writer-producer, has been chosen to oversee the debut and future guest editors will be similarly intriguing personalities from the worlds of politics, business, culture, entertainment and sports.”
In a blow certain to further erode the paper’s almost non-existent credibility, it has been revealed that Andres Martinez, the editorial page editor and overseer of the project, has been in a relationship with Grazier’s publicist.
Nikke Finke has this post on Martinez’s resignation.
What a MESS at the Times.
