Tim Rutten complained that his LAT bosses didn't get their views aired on last week's "Frontline." Executive editor
Louis Wiley Jr. says: "Because [editor
James O'Shea] is relatively new at the Times, and because our interview with him only took place at the last minute for us, we told him at the time it was unlikely that we would be able to use his comments in the broadcast, but that we would post them on our website." Producer
Raney Aronson-Rath responds to
Alicia Shepard's
complaint: "As a female producer I found it unsettling, to say the least, that so many of the interviews we did were with men and that so many of the positions of power in the media industry we covered were held by men. But it was the reality that we faced."
