Los Angeles Times Executive Editor Kevin Merida Resigns ‘After Considerable Soul-Searching’
Kevin Merida, executive editor at the Los Angeles Times, has resigned from his position after "considerable soul-searching."
In the meantime, members of the paper’s senior leadership team — Julia Turner, Sara Yasin, Scott Kraft and Shani Hilton — will be managing the newsroom in Merida’s absence. “I am proud of what we accomplished together during my tenure here, and grateful to Patrick Soon-Shiong and family for the opportunity to help transform The Times into a modern, innovative news media company for a new generation of consumers,” he continued. A longtime journalist, Merida was previously chairman of ESPN’s editorial board and spent 22 years at the Washington Post, becoming managing editor there and sustaining the publication’s subscriber growth.
