Ousted Publishers

Ousted Publishers

Publishers from two large U.S. newspapers (Miami and Los Angeles) ended their jobs (fired/resigned) this week. The pubisher of the Miami Herald stepped down, “saying he had lost control of his newsrooms over a growing controversy involving payments from the Bush administration to some reporters,” while the publisher of the Los Angeles Times was fired after he refused to bow to corporate pressure to continue cutting newsroom jobs. Strange days indeed for print journalism.
