LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- Los Angeles Times editor Dean Baquet is leaving his post reportedly under pressure from the newspaper's owner, Tribune Co.

Last month, Chicago-based Tribune ousted the newspaper's publisher, Jeff Johnson, and replaced him with David D. Hiller, then publisher of the Chicago Tribune, the Wall Street Journal said Tuesday. That ouster followed by only weeks the decision by both Baquet and Johnson to resist pressure from Tribune to lay off more staffers.

The L.A. Times is the biggest newspaper owned by Tribune, whose other media properties include the Chicago Tribune, Newsday and a chain of TV stations. The Tribune Co. has put assets of the media company up for sale.
