In an interview, Scannell said he will stay on as long as the board needs for a transition to his eventual successor after the search. “We were providing useful information every day, and people started to really look to us for whatever they could to try to figure out how they could mitigate their lives,” Scannell said of LAist’s pandemic coverage.
“I hope we can do this quickly, but as thoughtfully as possible,” Murphy said. That will involve bringing in stakeholders to help the board identify what the needs are for the next CEO, he said. Scannell and other leaders have said the layoffs were needed to redirect the organization on a more sustainable path focusing on daily online news.
“I feel like he’s been a strong supporter of our news operation and the vision to try to do things differently,” Garvey said in an interview. “Herb has a lengthy media background, but not really a lengthy news background. So it was great to see him really understand what we did as a news organization and why it mattered.”
