Grazer caught in a difference of opinion
In the blogosphere, it's been dubbed Grazergate.
Although personally free from any hint of impropriety, Imagine Entertainment co-chief Brian Grazer has been ensnared in a flap at the Los Angeles Times seemingly ripped from a comedy screenplay. Not so comically, the newspaper's editorial-page editor resigned Thursday over the imbroglio.
What started as an outside-the-box proposal of having a nonjournalist edit the newspaper's Sunday opinion section ended with the Times pulling the section. The catalyst for the controversy was the news that the girlfriend of now-resigned Times opinions editor Andres Martinez works for a public-relations firm that has represented Grazer on various projects.
The movie and TV producer issued a statement indicating disappointment over the controversy.
"I was surprised and delighted when the Los Angeles Times asked me to guest edit its Current section, because it gave me a chance to work with the L.A. Times and these seven extremely talented writers -- Nobel laureate Eric Kandel, Vogue's editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley, psychologist Paul Ekman, social scientist Dalton Connelly, attorney Martin Singer, urban planner Sam Hall Kaplan and artist Shepard Fairey," Grazer said. "Working together, we came up with a collection of essays and art that I think readers would have found genuinely stimulating and would have added to our understanding of our ever-changing culture. My hope now is that we can find another way to present the results of our efforts to the audience it deserves."
Later Thursday, Times publisher David Hiller also hinted that there might be some way of getting the Grazer-edited material distributed.
"I want to thank (the contributing writers) for their willingness to participate in this Novel Idea and hope there will be an avenue to bring these creative, thoughtful and insightful pieces to our readers in the near future," Hiller said in a statement.
