The topic is very interesting to me &#8211; now that we live in Los Angeles I figured it would be good to learn about our major metropolitan newspaper.<\/p>\n<p>And this book didn&#8217;t disappoint &#8211; it&#8217;s a good history of the LA Times and Time Mirror Corp. interlaced with some fun and interesting stories. The writing style is direct and engaging.<\/p>\n<p>However, the book is typeset in a typewriter font which is not the best choice.<\/p>\n<p>Overall this is a great book on a unique and interesting topic (which I got for $1!).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"translate_block\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<hr class=\"translate_hr\" \/>\n<a class=\"translate_translate\" id=\"translate_button_post-6341\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\" href=\"javascript:show_translate_popup('en', 'post', 6341);\"><span>Translate<\/span><\/a><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/google-ajax-translation\/transparent.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" id=\"translate_loading_post-6341\" class=\"translate_loading colorbox-6341\" style=\"display: none;\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: The Information Empire: The Rise of the Los Angeles Times and the Times Mirror Corporation Author: Jack R.
