civic leaders that Tribune is spending a larger share of its revenue on editorial operations at the Los Angeles Times than publisher
Otis Chandler did during "what many refer to as the 'golden age' of the newspaper." PLUS: An unnamed newspaper chain exec predicts LAT publisher
Jeffrey Johnson and editor
Dean Baquet will be fired for resisting cuts. "I hope those guys have their career plans well made because you do not tell Dennis FitzSimons and those guys at Tribune you are not going to do something. If you do, you are going to be on the beach, real soon." || Related Chicago Tribune
