Bob Sipchen left the L.A. Times last month after working as an education columnist, editorial writer (where he won a Pulitzer Prize) and founding editor of both the Current and Outdoor sections, neither of which exist any more. He talks about the paper and the future on Deadline L.A. today at noon on KPFK (90.7 FM.) Sipchen is now editor of the Sierra Club's magazine.
