Mariel Garza has resigned from her position as editorials editor of the Los Angeles Times, protesting against owner Patrick Soon-Shiong's decision to block the editorial board's endorsement of Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election. Garza stated that silence in 'dangerous times' is tantamount to complicity, highlighting the potential damage to the paper's credibility. The editorial board had intended to endorse Harris, a prominent figure in California politics, marking a significant departure from the newspaper’s tradition of endorsing candidates. Soon-Shiong suggested that the board could provide a factual analysis instead. The situation reflects ongoing tensions at the paper regarding editorial independence and management's influence.
