Angel Rodriguez is the former general manager for Latino initiatives at the Los Angeles Times. He moved to the position in 2022 after two years as a special projects editor.

He also managed Los Angeles Times en Español as part of a continuing effort to better serve Southern California’s Spanish-speaking market.

An assistant managing editor, he previously oversaw the News Desk’s multiplatform editors, who program the home page and mobile app, and the audience engagement editors. Rodriguez joined The Times as Sports editor in 2015 after spending a year as a deputy editor for mobile innovation at the Washington Post. Prior to joining the Post, he spent two years as sports editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer. He has also worked at the Arizona Republic, ESPN.com and MLB.com.

Rodriguez was born in Chicago but raised in Houston and is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin.
