There’s no shortage of stories these days about conflicts, suspensions or resignations of journalists or editors over the Israel-Hamas war. The topline story is that Kevin Merida, executive editor of the LA Times, is stepping down from his post after only three years. What’s different here is that it’s the editor who lost his job over it. The paper’s owners backed the reporters or at least refused to back Merida’s position. He and the family owners got into a dispute and couldn’t come to a compromise and he chose to step down over it.
