LA Times Owner Plans Overhaul for Balanced News Coverage
Patrick Soon-Shiong aims to distinguish news from opinion and include diverse political voices.
- Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the Los Angeles Times, announced a 'rebirth' of the paper to ensure all political voices are heard.
- The initiative follows Soon-Shiong's controversial decision to block the paper's endorsement of Kamala Harris for president.
- Soon-Shiong emphasized the need to separate factual reporting from opinion pieces, labeling the latter as 'Voices.'
- Three editors resigned after the endorsement decision, highlighting internal tensions over the paper's direction.
