Several employees for the Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post resigned after their papers’ respective editorial boards refrained from endorsing a presidential candidate.
LA Times’ billionaire owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, blocked the editorial board’s plan to endorse Kamala Harris, Semafor reported Tuesday.
Mariel Garza, the paper’s editorials editor, resigned the next day.
“I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent” Garza told the Columbia Journal Review (CJR). “In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up.”
Two more members of the editorial board followed. Veteran reporters Robert Greene and Karin Klein resigned Thursday, The Associated Press (AP) reported.
