O'Sullivan out*, **

Steve O'Sullivan is out as executive editor at the San Gabriel Valley Newspaper Group.

Frank Pine, senior managing editor at the San Bernardino Sun, will be taking a new position as senior managing editor for the Inland Division, with authority over all five papers. He'll now be based at the Tribune in West Covina.

Here's the story in the Pasadena Star-News.

Mandatory meeting*

I'm told SGVN Executive Editor Steve O'Sullivan has called a mandatory meeting at 1 p.m. to discuss a major organizational change.

Since the cat is already out of the bag (I was respecting the wishes of a source) it is expected that O'Sullivan will step down. It is unclear if he's leaving on his own accord or is being forced out by the new "operational efficiencies" that appear to have consolidated power at the San Bernardino Sun.

O'Sullivan took the exec ed job in 2006.
