Subject: The Times 130th Anniversary: Looking Forward/Reflecting Back


Colleagues –

Sunday, December 4th marks The Times’130th anniversary. From 1881 to the present, we have carved out a powerful role as the voice of the region, chronicling the area’s growth from Wild West outpost to the metropolis millions now call home. Just as we helped shape Southern California’s history, we will be an integral part of the future.

This landmark occasion offers us an interesting vantage point to reflect on our accomplishments and to look towards The Times’ next 130+ years. We have much to rejoice about, including now reaching more readers than ever before, through all of our media. We also have much hard work to do to make certain that we continue as the vibrant, multimedia of choice for Southern California.
