LA Times media reporter heads to DC

Matea Gold, the Los Angeles Times‘ media reporter based in New York, is moving to the paper’s Washington bureau, according to a memo from DC bureau chief Kerry Luft, obtained by Pandora Young of Fishbowl LA.

The memo states, “Currently a correspondent based in the LA Times’ New York bureau, Matea brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record as an innovative, dogged reporter and a sparkling writer.

“Her most recent assignment has been covering the media, a prickly bunch to be sure, but she’s been widely praised for her fairness and accuracy. She’s also a veteran of the presidential campaign trail, having covered Howard Dean, John Kerry, Joe Lieberman and Al Gore, among others. And yet she still likes political coverage!

“In previous incarnations at the LAT she covered the US-Mexico border, as well as the rise of gangs in East LA.

“She’s fluent in Spanish, a graduate of UCLA (sorry, Stanford folk) and an altogether delightful colleague.”
