The editorial editor of the LA Times has stepped down after the billionaire owner reportedly blocked its editorial board from endorsing Kamala Harris for president.
Members of the newspaper’s editorial board were prepared to endorse Harris for commander in chief until a shock announcement from executive editor Terry Tang.
Tang informed staff earlier this month that they would not be endorsing a candidate for president, two people familiar with the conversations told Semafor.
Now, Mariel Garza – the paper’s editorials editor – says it was a red line for her and a sign that she needed to leave.
‘I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent. In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up,’ she said.
