Los Angeles Media Moves

Laura Stegman, President, LAURA SEGAL STEGMAN PUBLIC RELATIONS, LLC. Welcome to this information tool for PR folks in Southern California (of which I am one) featuring updates about changes in contacts at (mainly) LA-area media outlets. It's intended not as a media directory but instead as a "who's gone where now" resource. I'll post news as I get it in my own research, and am happy to post tips you'd like to pass on.

NEW ''EVERYTHING ELSE" WEB SITE-BLOG FROM AL MARTINEZ

Check it out here. Al says it "takes you a step beyond what I currently write in my Monday column for the Los Angeles Times. In it, we'll talk politics, culture, war, family life and, well, everything else."

NEW EDUCATION REPORTER AT LA OPINION

Thanks to Jessica Schmidt at The Rogers Group for passing this on: "Ivan Mejia is the new reporter assigned to cover education issues since Ruben Moreno was just assigned to cover City Hall."

Noticed some new-ish names in the Westside Today newspapers masthead (Brentwood News, Beverly Hills 90210, Santa Monica Sun): Shannon Dunn (shannon@westsidetoday.com) is Editorial Director; Jim Bursch (jimbursch@westsidetoday.com) is Community News Editor and Online Media Director; and Katie Grim is Managing Editor (katie@westsidetoday.com).
