The Revolving Door At The LA Times Keeps Turning

LAObserved.com reports:

MaharajL.A. Times editor Russ Stanton takes great pains in his memo to make it sound like current managing editor John Arthur will still have a crucial post, but the real winner is new managing editor Davan Maharaj. He is the current business editor (succeeding Stanton) and is seen inside as part of Stanton's team — "the titan from Trinidad," Stanton calls him. Arthur got his post under the old Jim O'Shea regime — and not that long ago — and was a rival for the job that Stanton got. Memo follows, as posted on the LAT website. (Story on the Times site.) Separately: Rebecca Trounson is the new higher education editor in Metro, and Eryn Brown takes over as letters editor on the opinion staff.
