I read the whole link. It doesn't sound like he's the man to turn the paper around or to take it to the next level. I expect then that the LA Times to slip into further obsolescence. Good thing the Chandler's cashed out when they could.
I believe Kinsley still lives in Seattle, commutes down to L.A. for meetings. That's not unheard of, but it does seem strange to me. How can he be an editorial page editor for an L.A. paper if he doesn't live in Southern California?
