Company Town editor John Lippman is the latest to leave the Los Angeles Times Calendar section. He’s off to New Hampshire, where he’ll be the editor of a small town paper.

Lippman is the 14th voluntary exit from the Calendar section in a little under two years, an unusually high rate of departures at a time when newspaper jobs are increasingly hard to come by. We’ve heard grumblings about the section’s editor, Sallie Hofmeister, but as Kevin Roderick points out, Lippman was a Hofmeister hire, and his departure is apparently nothing to do with his boss.

After the jump, the updated list of Calender refugees:

  1. Kate Aurthur (TV editor)
  2. Elizabeth Snead (blogger)
  3. Denise Martin (reporter)
  4. Pete Hammond (Envelope writer)
  5. Tom O’ Neil (Envelope writer)
  6. Richard Rushfield (web editor/writer)
  7. Joseph Kapsch (web editor)
  8. Rachel Abramowitz
  9. Chris Lee
  10. Ann Powers
  11. Tim Swanson
  12. Matea Gold
  13. Maria Elena Fernandez
  14. John Lippman
