McKibben, 55, succeeds Dave Murphy, who left the paper in February.
In a message to employees reported in the Los Angeles Times, newly appointed Publisher Eddy Hartenstein wrote, "Scott has worked in California and knows our marketplace. He's lived and breathed newspapers all his life and understands the challenges and opportunities."
Hartenstein, the founder of DirecTV, was recently named publisher of the Los Angeles Times.
