As innovation editor of the Los Angeles Times, Russ Stanton began the difficult process of transforming the newspaper into a well-integrated web and print product. Now, he’s the new editor-in-chief, chosen over other candidates with more newsroom experience but less online expertise. His appointment comes at a crucial time for the Times—amidst staff cuts, following the departure of his three predecessors in quick succession, and during the coverage of a historic election. Stanton visits Zócalo to discuss his vision for the Times, the coverage he expects it to provide for Angelenos, and the financial and journalistic challenges that he and the paper are now confronting as he settles into his new role.
