Los Angeles Times punches hard

In 1881, Nathan Cole, Jr. and Thomas Garinder founded The Los Angeles Times, originally known as the Los Angeles Daily Times. It is well-known as the media empire controlled for more than a century by the Otis and Chandler families. Current owner Patrick Soon-Shiong bought the Times from Tribune Company in 2018.



The Los Angeles Times is the largest newspaper in the western United States, and sixth largest overall. It earned 51 Pulitzer Prizes and including six gold medal awards for public service.
