Editor wanted?*

The Los Angeles Daily Journal has an advertisement for an editor in its Los Angeles office. But is there an opening? From what I can gather, there isn't.

*UPDATE: A commenter said the job is for an opening in San Francisco. The would make sense since David Houston left his position up there to come down here. However, the ad says the position is in Los Angeles. Here's a copy:

Editor- Daily Journal Corporation (Los Angeles, CA)
The Daily Journal is hiring an editor in Los Angeles. Successful candidates must have at least five years experience reporting and/or editing stories. Experience covering legal or business matters is preferred but not required. A graduate degree or law degree is also preferred but not required. You must be able to supervise and edit copy from a staff of six to eight highly motivated reporters, coaching junior reporters and challenging experienced ones. You must be able to guide stories from their inception through the art and layout process, including headline writing. Send a resume and at least five clips to Editor David Houston at david_houston@dailyjournal.com.

Now, it's possible the DJ plans to hire a new editor here and decide later which editor goes up to San Francisco; or that Houston changed his mind after publishing the ad; or that "in Los Angeles" is a mistake; or that "in Los Angeles" is merely meant to convey the fact that the actual hiring of the editor will take place in Los Angeles. Time will tell.
