Southern California Public Radio (SCPR) announced today that Russ Stanton has joined the company as vice president of content. Stanton served as editor and executive vice president of the Los Angeles Times from 2008 until late last year. In his new role, Stanton will be responsible for improving the quality and extending the reach of SCPR’s public service journalism in radio, digital platforms and live events.

“We’re very excited to have Russ join our team,” said SCPR president Bill Davis. “As a news organization, all of us here have great respect for the Los Angeles Times—and admiration for the work Russ did there during his tenure as editor. Hiring Russ reflects SCPR’s commitment to providing the highest quality journalism and to creating a public forum to debate the most important issues of the day.” Under Stanton’s leadership, the Los Angeles Times won three Pulitzer Prizes and grew its online audience from fifth largest in the country to second among major news sites.

In his new position, Stanton will oversee SCPR’s award-winning newsroom; its broadcast programming on 89.3 KPCC-FM in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, 89.1 KUOR-FM in Riverside/San Bernardino metro, and 90.3 KVLA in the Coachella Valley; all of SCPR’s digital content on www.KPCC.org (and related applications); and all of SCPR’s live public events that are becoming an increasingly important part of the organization’s service to the community.

“I am very excited to be joining the staff of my favorite radio station,” said Stanton. “SCPR is a shining example of quality journalism that fosters a better understanding of our region, and I look forward to being part of its continued growth.” SCPR reviewed an exceptional, nationwide pool of candidates before naming Stanton to the content VP position. Lyn Cason, director of Stanton Chase International, led the search process.
