Title: Petition circulated at Los Angeles Times
Posted By: Jim Romenesko
 
To: Dennis FitzSimons and the board of directors of the Tribune Co.

We the undersigned employees of the Los Angeles Times wish to state our deep sense of regret and disappointment over the dismissal of our publisher, Jeffrey Johnson. We believe, as Jeff did, that the future of the Los Angeles Times--and that of the Tribune Co.--is dependent upon high quality journalism. As Jeff made clear, there is no cutting our way into the future. He realized, as publisher of the paramount news organization in the nation's largest state, that we have many assets: a world-renowned brand name, a tradition of journalistic excellence, a rapidly growing Web site, and, last but not least, an extraordinary newspaper editor, Dean Baquet, who has our firm support. We ask that our new publisher, David Hiller, and the management of the Tribune Co. carefully consider and approve Dean's plans for strategic investments in the newspaper and its Web site that will expand revenues, enhance Los Angeles Times journalism and ensure a prosperous future for the company and its largest newspaper.
