María Elena Fernández, a 12-year vet of the Los Angeles Times is no longer at the paper. She was a Calendar section reporter covering television for almost 7 years.
March 2nd was María Elena’s last day at the LAT. She told mediabistro: “You just need to read the Calendar section and look at the Web site to know that in the last two years something has gone terribly wrong. The Times is moving in the wrong direction, and it’s been painful to see. Calendar is not the joyous, inspiring place it once was and the paycheck just wasn’t worth it anymore. I am sad about leaving so many good friends behind and wish them only the best.”
