Drex Heikes Named Editor of LA Weekly

-- Drex Heikes will be the LA Weekly's next editor, effective August 17, the weekly newspaper announced on June 29, 2009:

"During an 18-year career at the Los Angeles Times, Heikes served as editor of the Sunday magazine--where he directed both long-form news journalism and the coverage of local arts and culture--and as foreign affairs editor in the paper's Washington bureau. He spent the fall of 2001 in New York City supervising the Times' coverage of the World Trade Center attacks.

In 2005 Heikes was offered the number-two position at the Las Vegas Sun and a rare opportunity to recast the traditional afternoon daily as a magazine devoted to enterprise and analysis."
