This isn’t quite a -30- note since I’ll be around for a little while longer but in a lame duck kind of way.

I just have to say that it has been a joy to work with the talent in this organization, and in this vibrant city. Thank you all for the dedication and smart thinking that have pushed latimes.com forward in unmatched ways.

The growth here has been the product of a true newsroom-wide effort – that’s what makes it so impressive and unparalleled among the competition. There is such great digital leadership here -- Sean Gallagher, Dan Gaines, Tenny Tatusian are at the top of a long list of names that spring to mind. And there are so many people here who aren’t “web” or “print” but a hybrid. What a great thing that is.

I am certain you will all continue to impress and attract readers, and I look forward to being one of them for a very long time.

Congratulations on all the digital success so far and the many more to come.

- Meredith
