Title: Los Angeles Daily News Negatives

Los Angeles Daily News
Identifier/Call Number: LSC.1387
Physical Description:
150.5 linear feet
(301 boxes)
Date (inclusive): 1925-1954
Abstract:
The Los Angeles daily news was originally named the
Illustrated Daily News by Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr. when he started it in 1923. He copied the tabloid format of the
New York daily news, although he rejected lurid and sensational journalism. In 1926 the paper went bankrupt and was taken over by Manchester
Boddy, who changed the name to the
Los Angeles daily news. He kept the tabloid format, with its heavy reliance on photographs. In 1954 it merged with the
Mirror, the afternoon paper of the
Los Angeles times, and became the
Mirror-News. It lost reporters, columnists, and its more liberal flavor, and ceased publication in the early 1960s. The collection consists
of 200,000 negatives of the
Los Angeles Daily News.
