García new Executive Editor at L.A. Daily News

April 7, 2008 by Veronica Villafañe

Carolina García is the new Executive Editor of the Los Angeles Daily News, the newspaper’s publisher announced today. She moves to L.A. after 5 years as Executive Editor of The Monterey County Herald, a 35,000-circulation paper. She was previously the managing editor of the San Antonio Express-News from 1998 to 2003.

She replaces Executive Editor Ron Kaye, who resigned Friday. In a D.N. article, she says her priorities will be on local news and continuing the newspaper’s watchdog role: “The energy and passion and commitment to the community is not going to change.”

Carolina will be taking over a newspaper that is trying to evolve into a multimedia news source, as newspaper subscribers decline and readers migrate to online news sites. The challenge will be accomplishing those goals with less staff.

Just last month, the 150,000-circulation Daily News laid off 100 employees, including reporters, photographers, editors and library and clerical staffers.
