Another Los Angeles Times Departure

Dear Friends,

It’s tough to go. I am excited about the future, but the present hurts. It’s hard to leave The Los Angeles Times and depart this city.

Working here has been a privilege because I got to call you my colleagues. This publication has been my community. It’s been my one constant over the last four years, and it’s been my home. This newspaper is Los Angeles for me, and it always will be.

I knew I wanted to work at this newspaper, and live in this city. I made that happen, and now it’s over, before I could even really believe it. So it’s with a heart full of optimism, and gratitude, that I say thanks. I’ll miss you all.

Abrazos,

Alejandro Lazo
