UPDATE ON WALL STREET JOURNAL'S GLOSSY MAG
WWD.com has an interview with Tina Gaudoin, editor of the Wall Street Journal's new quarterly glossy magazine, ever so imaginatively called WSJ, coming in the fall. Take this link to read the whole thing, but I quote here from the most relevant (to us) part:
MORE JOB CUTS
Gary Scott's blog has this about the LANG group of papers comprised of the Pasadena Star News, San Gabriel Valley Tribune, Whittier Daily News, Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, San Bernadino Sun, and Redland Daily Facts: Executive Editor Steve O'Sullivan is gone, and Frank Pine, senior managing editor at the San Bernardino Sun, becomes senior managing editor for the Inland Division (all the papers).
Quoted directly from Scott's blog is this list of no-longer-employed folks:
Also, thanks to Bob Thomas for passing on this link to the Pasadena Star News's spin on the departure of O'Sullivan.
MORE LA TIMES STUFF
According to this at LA Observed, Leo Wollinsky heads up features at the LA Times to "provide managerial oversight" starting March 17, according to the memo from Editor Russ Stanton.
The Michael Calderone's Politco Media blog updates the LA Times buyout story, saying that the list of editorial staffers requesting the buyout will not necessarily be the way the layoffs play out.

WWD.com has an interview with Tina Gaudoin, editor of the Wall Street Journal's new quarterly glossy magazine, ever so imaginatively called WSJ, coming in the fall. Take this link to read the whole thing, but I quote here from the most relevant (to us) part:
Gaudoin said the magazine would be broad in scope, naming, as examples, commissioning your own artwork, managing a staff, and coverage of jewelry, fashion, cars and gadgets. ( The magazine is aimed at men and women. About a third of Journal readers are female.) The size of her staff has yet to be determined, she said, though it will likely be a mix of magazine veterans and existing Journal staffers. Nor could she say how large of a budget there would be for luxury magazine indulgences, like name-brand photographers and on-location shoots.
