The L.A. Times after being bought by the Tribune
Started in 1978, when Chandler was still publisher of the Los Angeles Times, the San Diego edition grew from 24 editorial employees to 65. Those numbers don't include the advertising and circulation staffs. In the midst of Southern California's near depression-like recession, in 1992, when Chandler still served as a Times Mirror board member, he agreed to retreating from San Diego so the Times could concentrate more resources on metropolitan Los Angeles, including its editions in Orange County, San Fernando Valley, and Ventura. Although the San Diego edition "was losing a substantial amount of money," Chandler said, it was not as much as $20 million within 15 years, one of the estimates cited by Times staffers.
