James O'Shea, who leaves his Chicago Tribune managing editor post to become Los Angeles Times editor, has been willing to argue the newsroom's case with corporate management, although not as publicly as
Dean Baquet has in recent weeks, reports
Phil Rosenthal. "They don't just hand us an edict and we say, 'Yeah, we'll do it,'" O'Shea says "[Tribune editor]
Ann Marie [Lipinski] and I have had numerous occasions where we don't agree with decisions, budgetary and other kinds of decisions that are being made, and we fight back."
