Long Beach, California (CaymanMama.com) — The popular and reputed publisher of the Los Angeles Times, David Hiller, has decided to resign from the newspaper after working with the company for less than two years. The decision was made due to the fact that parent company, Tribune Co., is slated to cut jobs. As reported by the Chief Operating Officer of the Tribune, Randy Michaels, Hiller’s resignation is effective immediately.

In a memo released on Monday, Michaels stated that during the last six months, Hiller has helped the newspaper begin the transition to the new ownership along with facing new realities. The transition will include the appointment of a new publisher as well.

Hiller announced his resignation on the same day that the Chicago Tribune announced the resignation of it’s editor, Ann Marie Lipinski.  The new editor has now been assigned to the post of vice president of the Tribune Publishing Editorial, Gerould Kern.

Hiller reported in a different memo that he had a meeting with the chief executive and chairman of the Tribune, Sam Zell, and mentioned that Zell is the “main boss”. Hiller further wrote that The Los Angeles Times is a special place that is made from the hard work of many and those who have already left have also dedicated themselves bringing the news of the city to build The Times.

The Tribune has decided to appoint the new publisher of the Los Angeles Times by the end of summer. The Tribune is also reducing the exact number of pages so that a balance of the editorial copy and advertisements can be made thereby reducing the expenses of paper production.
