Harrison Gray Otis took over the Los Angeles Times in 1886. He and his son-in-law, Harry Chandler, used the newspaper to promote growth and conservative politics in Los Angeles. For decades, the Times was regarded as one of the nation's worst newspapers. That changed in 1960 when Chandler's grandson, Otis Chandler, became publisher and turned it into one of the country's most respected publications. The family sold the company in 2000. |
