No News Today: How Los Angeles Lost a Daily

*At 12th and Los Angeles Streets in Los Angeles is a three-story brick building. It is painted gray to hide its shabbiness. A large, modern glass doorway on Los Angeles Street has the address “1257” painted over it. Twenty feet inside the doorway is a very big, dirty freight elevator. To the immediate right of the entrance is a narrow stairway. Its sagging steps, covered with worn linoleum, lead to warm, musty halls. Doorways line the short, narrow corridors on each floor. This building was the home of the Los Angeles Daily News from its birth in 1923 to its death in 1954. During that time, that newspaper was the only independently owned daily in Los Angeles. For most of its life it was the only major liberal, Democratic daily in Los Angeles. But, like its building and plant, the News had become outdated when it failed.
