LA Times fashion critic Booth Moore is named editor of the Image (fashion) section, replacing departing Rose Apodaca, who launched the section as consulting editor. Image goes weekly on Sundays beginning September 9. Here's their press release with additional contacts, some of which I'd reported previously. Don't see LA.com's Enid Portuguez on that list – I read elsewhere that she was joining the Image staff, but she still has an active voice mail line at LA.com, and the LA Times operator doesn't have her on their Image section phone roster.
