Veteran 'L.A. Times' Reporters Laid Off

Around 15 journalists were booted from the paper

The Los Angeles Times laid off another round of employees yesterday, including several of the newspaper’s veteran reporters.

Nancy Sullivan, a spokeswoman for the newspaper, said there were a small number of layoffs because of the economic downturn. “As we continue to evolve our business and react to the difficult economic environment, we are downsizing in some areas and adding resources in others,” she said in a statement.

The L.A. Times' parent company, Tribune Co., is currently going through bankruptcy protection.
