Inventing LA: The Chandlers and Their Times


This groundbreaking documentary traces the explosive emergence of multi-ethnic, modern Los Angeles during the single-family reign of four publishers of the Los Angeles Times. Each used the newspaper to pursue distinct agendas and impossible dreams, transforming the composition and character of Southern California itself; in the process, seducing a nation and the world with a new kind of American Dream.

    An excellent documentary on the Chandler family, I was impressed. Lots of shots of the old pressroom with many familiar faces of old friends and co-workers. Especially poignant was the part on young Norman Chandler. I got to know him a little while he was doing his stint in the pressroom. The last conversation we had was about his wife having a baby soon. The picture of him "operating" K press, I was standing next to the photographer making stupid faces. LOL
