Judging from a piece by Emily Steel in today's WSJ, the LAT's newsroom is in revolt. The evidence: A fired editor gets to address newsroom employees on why he's right and management is wrong, sewing seeds of further discord. In a real business, a fired high-level manager would be shown the door immediately and not allowed back in.
The LAT's future is not promising unless it gets a blood transfusion. Trouble-makers and muckrakers in the newsroom and on the editorial staff ought to be replaced by people whose only agenda is to do excellent work and get paid for it. Such people will not be hired if trouble-makers and muckrakers do the interviews.
