With publisher Mark Ficarra headed to San Diego, Breeze editor Phillip Sanfield will fill in as interim publisher. Newsroom note from the new president of the Los Angeles Newspaper Group is after the jump.

Folks:

I’m pleased to announce that Phillip Sanfield has agreed to step in as interim publisher of the Torrance Consolidated properties. We are fortunate to have someone in Torrance who can step in with Phillip's tenure in the market. As editor of the Breeze and as a senior executive on the operating committee, he is well-equipped to keep the momentum on all fronts moving forward. Phillip will continue in his role as editor.

As I continue to familiarize myself with LANG operations over the next weeks, I will be sure to keep you all informed. In the meantime, I appreciate all that you do for our company.

Best Regards,

Fred Hamilton
President
LANG
