I wonder what this guy's politics are.
Andrés Martinez was named editorial page editor of the Los Angeles Times in September 2004. He is responsible for The Times' daily editorial pages.
Martinez had previously served as assistant editorial page editor and a member of the editorial board of The New York Times, and had been an editorial writer at the paper since 2000. He also was a 2004 Pulitzer Prize finalist for editorial writing. Prior to joining the New York Times, Martinez was an editorial writer at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and a reporter at The Wall Street Journal.
He is the author of "24/7: Living It Up and Doubling Down in the New Las Vegas."
Before entering journalism, Martinez practiced communications law in Washington, D.C., and served as a law clerk for a federal district judge in Dallas.
A native of Mexico, Martinez earned a B.A. degree in history from Yale University in 1988, a M.A. degree in Russian history from Stanford University in 1989 and graduated from Columbia University Law School with a J.D. degree in 1992.
