The editorials editor of the Los Angeles Times has resigned in protest at billionaire owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong reportedly ordering the paper to withold a planned endorsement of Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
“I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent,” Mariel Garza told the Columbia Journalism Review of her decision to leave. “In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up.”
