 The historic sale of the Los Angeles Times to biotech billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong closed last month.
Soon-Shiong, 65, took control of The Times, San Diego Union-Tribune and a handful of community newspapers from Chicago-based Tronc. The $500 million deal, which was announced on Feb. 7, returns The Times back to local ownership after nearly two decades under Chicago control.
