Los Angeles Herald-Examiner
- Los Angeles Herald-Examiner
The "Los Angeles Herald-Examiner" was a major
Los Angeles daily newspaper, published Monday through Friday in the afternoon, and in the morning on Saturdays and Sundays. It was part of theHearst syndicate. The afternoon "Herald-Express" and the morning "Examiner", both of which had been publishing in the city since the turn of the Twentieth century, merged in1962 . For a few years after this merger, the "Herald-Examiner" claimed the largest afternoon-newspaper circulation in the country.On December 15, 1967, Herald Examiner employees began a strike that lasted almost a decade and resulted in at least $15 million in losses. At the time of the labor strife, the paper's circulation was about 721,000 daily and it had 2,000 employees. The strike ended in March, 1977, with circulation having dropped to about 330,000 and the number of employees to 700. Many veteran reporters left and never returned. As circulation went into free-fall, advertisers were reluctant to use it, and the unions campaigned effectively to its working-class readership, urging them to cancel subscriptions.
Despite Hearst's belated efforts to restore some of the paper's luster, the "Herald-Examiner" went out of business
November 2 ,1989 , leaving the "Los Angeles Times " as the sole city-wide daily newspaper, though theSan Fernando Valley -based "Los Angeles Daily News " has tried to take its place.The "Herald-Examiner" is available on microfilm at the downtown branch of the Los Angeles Public Library.
