Alice Short is a former editor at the Los Angeles Times who worked in features, entertainment and local news, and served as editor of the Los Angeles Times Magazine for about five years (perhaps the best job ever, although she didn’t recognize it at the time). She was also an assistant managing editor for several years, left the paper for three years to contemplate other possibilities, and eventually concluded that returning was the only option. As a senior editor, she was able to work on Column Ones and other narratives, as well as projects, for another six years. She retired (allegedly) in August 2025.
