To the Staff:

I am pleased to name Leo Wolinsky Associate Editor of the Los Angeles Times with responsibility for Page One and other duties. As we all know, Leo is a widely-respected editor who has proven himself time and again over decades at the Times. His new masthead position will take advantage of his excellent news judgment, consummate management skills, proven leadership and his deep knowledge of readership issues. Leo will oversee the Page One desk as well as the management of editorial news hole and ad standards, an area of increasing importance given the newspaper industry's movement towards more innovative ads. In his new job, Leo will continue as a crucial member of my management team and will report to me. He also will work with John Arthur on Page 1 issues. His duties will expand in the future as we continue to reorganize the masthead. Please join me in congratulating Leo on his new duties.

Jim
