Daily News publisher out

LA Observed has reported that Los Angeles Daily News Publisher Doug Hanes has "left the company."

Given the consolidation within the group, will the Daily News still have a publisher position when this all shakes out? As it stands, there are four publishers for the nine newspapers of LANG - one for the Inland Division, one for both the Daily Breeze and Press-Telegram, one for the Redlands Daily Facts and one for the Daily News.

yep, that was done earlier today and the little "genius" ed moss is the new publisher. he should be able to turn that ship around rather quickly with his wonderful, and some would say brilliant strategy he has brought with him the last 18 months or so. I betcha naming all his achievements wouldn't be hard. Here is the list below.

Thanks for catching that. I wouldn't want to prevent his resume from expanding.
I don't know how he continues to come up with this type of innovation. Amazing!
Here are a few more too.

To anyone else who get laid off in the future... Be sure to cash any checks from the company before they bounce.

Now why would you say layoffs in the future. According to hr, there will not be any more layoffs. Please stop spreading untrue rumors that kills the spirit of the team at LANG,,,gosh darn you!

I've been gone for a few days. You mean there has been additional layoffs within the LANG organization? That is shocking.

LANG's Inland Division has two news desks, one for the Star-News, SGV Tribune and Whittier Daily News and another for the Sun, Daily Bulletin and Daily Facts. Of the 4 desks, 2 are for the Inland papers, one for the South Bay and one for the LA Daily News.

Anon 1:20 p.m.: Are you suggesting a connection between the number of news desks and the number of publishers?
