Ross Levinsohn takes voluntarily leave of absence

Dear Los Angeles Times colleagues,
As of this morning, Ross Levinsohn has voluntarily agreed to take an unpaid leave of absence, effective immediately. The company has retained Sidley Austin LLP to conduct a review of the allegations regarding his behavior. I want to reemphasize to you all that the Company takes any allegations of inappropriate behavior by its employees very seriously. It is critical that in any such circumstances we conduct a thorough review so that we have a full understanding of what happened. We will not hesitate to take further action, if appropriate, once the review is complete. In the meantime, Mickie Rosen will lead the Los Angeles Times and Lewis D’Vorkin will continue to lead the newsroom, reporting to Mickie. We understand this is a difficult and challenging issue. Thank you for your patience while we allow the review to run its course.
Sincerely,
Justin Dearborn
