Julia Turner, a top content executive of the Los Angeles Times, resigned Tuesday, saying she would “take some time to explore how we can develop sustainable business models for news in the digital age.”
Turner, who announced her exit in a statement on X (formerly Twitter) becomes the latest casualty of a newsroom in turmoil.
The Times, which two weeks ago laid off 120 editorial staffers, has also lost at least six top news-related officials in the past month.
Turner’s departure comes after she acknowledged in a memo to staff that management had not adequately conveyed the exit of one of those editors, former managing editor Shani Hilton.
TheWrap has reached out to the Times for comment on Turner’s departure.
