Remember Jeffrey Johnson, the publisher of the Los Angeles Times who stood by his paper's editor against ownership's demand for staff cuts? Well, apparently ownership (The Tribune Co.) remembered him as well: He was fired this morning.
No word yet on whether the "suicide pact"applies to non-editorial staff, but clearly there is something in the air in Los Angeles; if your johnson doesn't fall off on its own, they'll cut it off for you.
