Synopsis
Celebrating the centenary of the Los Angeles Times, the second-largest U.S. newspaper, Berges presents a candid story of its growth and development, along with portraits of its owners, publishers, editors and other personnel. Beginning with the pioneering days of founder Harrison Gray Otis who began the Times in a tiny printing shop, he describes how under the Chandlers it evolved from a provincial newspaper into an award-winning publication. Member of the current staff of the Times, the author describes the diverse workings of a modern newspaper and how stories and journalists are made, and conveys how staff members like Robert Scheer, book review editor Art Seidenbaum, cartoonist Paul Conrad, and columnist Jack Smith work.
