Since the Tribune Company bought Times Mirror some eleven years ago we have witnessed a constant change in the team that manages the newspaper here in Los Angeles. I still think it’s important knowing who is running the newspaper we work for, so meet our new President and CEO Kathy Thomson.
Unfortunately I have not had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Thomson, but I will meet her very soon and capture a photograph or two of us together.
From the Los Angeles Times:
