    They sure as hell are paying him more than 25K ... nowhere close to the 100K that Mr X suggested but I think 50K in LA is realistic

    I would guess $45K to $60K, if I had to guess. No way in hell it's $100K.

    How does someone with that little experience get an NBA beat job at one of the nation's largest papers?

    Because he came through an LA Times training program .. read Randy Harvey's message:


    Jonathan, an Upland native and a 2005 USC graduate, worked for The Times for 18 months as an intern and Metpro trainee before going to the Inland Empire. He has had several front page features and news stories, including coverage of wildfires and dust storms, good training for the Clipper beat.

    Story just above that, about the radio/TV sports guy being shifted to the racing beat is more amusing . . .

    I don't know. I'm not the one who controls the purse strings, however.

    Editors in LA average around $60-70,000, if that offers any comparison.

    He's probably in the $60,000 to $70,000 range. And Larry Stewart off the TV/Radio beat for sure is interesting. But Christine Daniels will make it more lively.
