Los Angeles controlling

As a consequence of the changes made in the Tribune Co. bankruptcy case, the Washington bureau of the Los Angeles Times will once again be controlled by the Los Angeles Times, LA Observed reports. When Sam Zell took over the paper, the huge Times bureau merged with the smaller Chicago Tribune's bureau, and much of the editorial control was handed to the Chicago bosses. In the two years since, many of the Times' most experienced reporters abandoned ship, leaving a much smaller bureau in DC to serve the Tribune chain.

LAT's Greg Miller heads to Washington Post

Greg Miller, who covered national security and intelligence issues for the Los Angeles Times and co-wrote "The Interrogators: Inside the Secret War Against Al Qaeda," is leaving for the Washington Post, where he'll cover national security.

Miller's exit from the Times' Washington bureau follows the recent departures of Josh Meyer, Peter Wallstein, Peter Spiegel, Sebastian Rotella and deputy editor Aaron Zitner.
