Biographical / historical:

The Los Angeles Times was first published on December 4, 1881, under the name of the Los Angeles Daily Times. In October 1886, Harrison Gray Otis, owner and publisher, removed the word "Daily" from the title and the newspaper became the Los Angeles Times. By the mid-1940s, the Times was the leading newspaper in Los Angeles. During its growth, the Times was owned and published by members of Harrison Gray Otis's family, including his son-in-law, Harry Chandler (publisher, 1917-1944); his grandson, Norman Chandler (publisher,1944-1960), and his grandson Otis Chandler (publisher, 1960-1980). The Chandler family continued to own the Times until June 2000, when Tribune Company acquired Times Mirror, former parent of the Los Angeles Times.
