One Deadline Pushed Back, As Another Moves Up

Congratulations to LATimes media reporter Matea Gold and her husband Jonathan on their arrival of their first child. Matea gave birth to Sophia Eleanor Lenzner last Saturday. 7-pound, 4-ounce Sophia arrived a week early, thwarting her mother’s efforts to make one last deadline.

Gold tells us she finished and filed two features after her water broke, but another long-term story will have to wait a bit longer.

Gold is expected back on the beat in July.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion‘s Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook’s Morin Oluwole, and bitly’s Tim Devane. Register now.
