Times wish-list may be one short NEW YORK DAILY NEWS - Hot Copy Two weeks after the resignations of The New York Times' two top editors, publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. may be redrawing his line of succession. Word from inside The Times yesterday was that former national editor Dean Baquet, who now has the No. 2 job of managing editor at The Los Angeles Times, turned down Sulzberger's offer to return to New York. Gerald Boyd, the previous managing editor, and executive editor Howell Raines both resigned on June 5 amid staff unrest that grew during the Jayson Blair reporting scandal. Sulzberger was said to have met with Baquet last weekend in California. Asked about word that Baquet declined a Sulzberger offer, Times spokeswoman Catherine Mathis said, "I can't comment on that." Baquet did not respond to messages from the Daily News. Baquet's decision could pose a dilemma for Sulzberger as he tries to remake the Times masthead while remaining committed to diversity in the newsroom. Boyd and Baquet are African Americans. Baquet's apparent turndown echoed his remarks to colleagues that he's not leaving Los Angeles. He's expected to be the eventual successor to editor John Carroll, 61. Baquet, 45, was lured west in the summer of 2000 by Carroll, who left the top job at The Baltimore Sun to become editor of The Los Angeles Times after Tribune Co. completed its purchase of the newspaper. The two men have been reinvigorating the paper, wooing other New York Times staffers in the process. In 10 previous years at The New York Times, Baquet went from metropolitan reporter to deputy metropolitan editor to national editor. At the Chicago Tribune, from 1984 to 1990, he won a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting, leading a team that detailed corruption in the Chicago City Council. nydailynews.com
