Los Angeles Times editorial page editor
Andres Martinez is dating PR exec
Kelly Mullens, whose firm represents
Brian Grazer, the producer who was brought in as guest editor of this weekend's Current section. "We're concerned that even the appearance of a conflict is enough to discredit the hard work of reporters and editors in the newsroom," says investigative reporter
Charles Ornstein. "To face a potential scandal is really discouraging." Martinez
insists his relationship with Mullens had nothing to do with Grazer's selection. Publisher
David Hiller
will decide today whether to run an editor's note disclosing the relationship or to stop the edition before its scheduled Friday printing. (LAObserved.com broke
the story Wednesday.)
