Editor in chief Laurie Ochoa to leave LA Weekly
The LA Weekly reports that Editor in Chief Laurie Ochoa is leaving the paper. She assumed the position in 2001 and had previously worked at Gourmet magazine as well as the Los Angeles Times as Food editor. Ochoa left The Times in 1999. Her husband, Jonathan Gold, is an LA Weekly food writer who won a Pulitzer Prize in 2007 and also formerly worked at the The Times Food section. LA Weekly says it is seeking candidates for the editor in chief position.
Are you kidding me? The longtime editor of the L.A. Weekly gets into a tussle with the publisher and departs, and all this juicy story rates in the L.A. Times is a few sentences on the food blog? It's difficult to know which publication is more pathetic, the Times or the Weekly. . . .

Perhaps Bruni's shoes have been filled after all...
