Ross Levinsohn has worked at all kinds of media companies, but he’s never managed a newspaper before. Now he’ll run a big one: He’s the new publisher and CEO of the Los Angeles Times.

As the Times reports, Levinsohn’s appointment comes as part of a restructuring, one of many the paper has undergone: The Times, owned by the Tronc conglomerate (formerly known as Tribune), fired editor and publisher Davan Maharaj, as well as top editors including managing editor Marc Duvoisin, digital editor Megan Garvey and Matt Doig, who ran the paper’s investigative unit.
