A DIFFERENCE OF VISION "Think of it as the changes made at the start of a new presidential term," says LAT publisher David Hiller about the ousting of the paper's editor, Jim O'Shea.

O'SHEA CAN YOU SEE For the fourth time in three years, Tribune Co.'s Los Angeles Times ousts a chief. Gone is editor James O'Shea, removed by publisher David Hiller for refusing to cut jobs in the newsroom, which happened to publisher Jeffrey Johnson last year. And just when we almost started believing the gospel that suggested we start believing the tarot card reading that hinted new owner Sam Zell might take pity of his work force. [NYT]
