Los Angeles Times
Before resigning as Los Angeles Times editor in July 2005,
John Carroll met with Los Angeles power broker
Eli Broad and asked if he'd consider trying to buy the Los Angeles Times. "The Carroll-Broad meeting reflected a deteriorating relationship between Tribune and its largest newspaper, which would cost The Times two publishers and two editors in less than two years," writes
James Rainey. He says Broad continues to get occasional phone calls from Carroll, encouraging local ownership of the paper.
