Synopsis

This book chronicles the successes and failures of six daily newspapers in Los Angeles during an era of the city's most fierce newspaper wars as they battled for readers in the City of Angels. Included are accounts of the birth of celebrity journalism to crime within the city hall; police corruption during the mob era; the beginnings of news coverage of the ethnic minority communities, and the 'red-baiting' of the 1950s.
