Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times is a daily newspaper in Los Angeles, California, USA covering local news, sports, business, jobs, and community events.
The newspaper is published seven days a week.
The Los Angeles Times was first published on December 4, 1881. It is distributed throughout the western United States.
The newspaper was first published in the afternoon, using the name Los Angeles Daily Times. It soon went bankrupt, and was taken over by the paper's printer, the Mirror Company, which named Harrison Gray Otis as an editor. Otis made the paper a financial success and in 1884 he bought the newspaper and printing company to form the Times-Mirror Company. When Otis died in 1917, his son-in-law Harry Chandler became publisher of the Times. Harry Chandler was succeeded in 1944 by his son, Norman Chandler, who ran the paper during the rapid growth of post-war Los Angeles.
In 1960, Otis Chandler became the fourth generation of family publishers. He made the Los Angeles Times one of the most respected American newspapers, along with the New York Times and Washington Post. He believed that the newsroom was "the heartbeat of the business," and increased the size and pay of the editorial staff and expanded its national and international reporting. In 1995 Otis Chandler gave up day-to-day control of the newspaper, and publisher Mark Willes, the former president of General Mills, took over. Willes was criticized for not understanding the newspaper business. Reporters and editors referred to him as "The Cereal Killer."
In 2000, the Los Angeles Times and the rest of the Times Mirror Company was sold to the Tribune Company.
