Tronc Inc., the Chicago-based newspaper publisher, ousted the management of its flagship Los Angeles Times, naming media veteran Ross Levinsohn as publisher and launching a search for a new editor.
Levinsohn was also named chief executive officer, while Jim Kirk, former publisher and editor of the Chicago Sun-Times, was appointed interim editor while the newspaper seeks a new editor-in-chief, the company said Monday in a statement.
