New leader

Picking the correct person to lead a company anytime is certainly a key element to having a successful business. These are rough times for the L.A. Times, so picking a new leader has to be better than good to save this new organization.

In a recent article, “L.A. Times names Eddy Hartenstein to publisher's post,” by Martin Zimmerman, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer, he writes about the newly selected leader, Eddy Hartenstein.

I was a little bummed out that the article did not contain more intuitive facts about how Hartenstein would improve or stabilize the paper. The article certainly detailed Hartenstein’s successful past but these were all in areas that were not in print journalism - seems like an odd pick, perhaps not.
