Los Angeles Times
The Los Angeles Times, founded in 1881, serves as the sixth-largest newspaper in the United States and the largest in the Western United States with print circulation of more than 100,000. Based in El Segundo, California since 2018, the paper has won over 40 Pulitzer Prizes throughout its history. Owned by biotech investor Patrick Soon-Shiong since 2018, the Times has undergone significant transformations including major staff reductions, with a 20 percent layoff in January 2024. The newspaper evolved from its early civic boosterism under the Chandler family dynasty to become a respected national publication, though it has struggled with declining circulation and financial pressures in the digital era.
