What happens when you stand up for your co-workers, when you refuse to allow people to be fired just to cut corners? If you're Jeffrey Johnson, publisher of The Los Angeles Times, you get forced out of the company in your Thursday morning meeting.
Tribune Publishing President Scott C. Smith huddled with top managers at the newspaper this morning and announced that David Hiller, publisher of the Chicago Tribune, would immediately replace Johnson as chief executive at the 125-year-old newspaper.
Apparently the thinking is that Hiller, the new guy in charge, will be able to make all of you close your browsers and pick up that dirty old thing called a newspaper. Good luck, sir. Good luck.
