Los Angeles Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong has appointed Terry Tang as the paper’s interim executive editor, making her the first female editor in its 142-year history. The move comes amid substantial layoffs, a one-day strike, and the departure of three top editors. Soon-Shiong expressed commitment to important public service journalism and new editorial leadership, praising Tang's leadership in the Opinion section. Tang, who has a background at the New York Times and the American Civil Liberties Union, will appoint a managing editor to oversee the newsroom's day-to-day operations.
