And it was this seek for money that led to one of many darkest chapters in L.A. Occasions historical past.

When Staples Middle opened that October, the Los Angeles Occasions Journal printed a lavish particular difficulty. It was a celebration not simply of the Lakers’ and Kings’ new residence however of the revival of downtown Los Angeles it promised to unleash. It was the most important journal the paper ever printed and generated $2 million in income.

Nevertheless it was later revealed by opponents that the paper had secretly entered right into a profit-sharing settlement with Staples Middle for the journal, a battle of curiosity that sparked protests by Occasions journalists who’d written for the journal with out realizing concerning the deal in addition to head-shaking from many readers.

In L.A. Occasions scholarship, the Staples scandal is seen as the primary signal of the epic decline to come back. Three months later, the Chandler household shocked everybody (together with the “cereal killer”) by promoting The Occasions to Chicago-based Tribune Publishing. The Chicago Tribune was smaller than the Los Angeles Occasions, however its father or mother firm was thought of a lot better at boosting revenue margins. It was a humbling second at Occasions Mirror Sq., the place so many workers had spent their complete careers supported by the paper’s ample income that some dubbed it “the velvet coffin.”

However how a lot of this might we see in 1999?

An excerpt from the Los Angeles Times self-examination on the Staples scandal

I lately talked to a colleague who was then a senior chief on the paper and had a front-row seat to the Staples scandal. She jogged my memory that we had been so used to working at a spot, in an business, constructed on profitability that we couldn’t even think about a world that didn’t revolve across the paper hitting the doorstep every morning. So we failed to acknowledge that the expertise revolution we coated every single day would at some point come for us.

Our certainty drove our journalistic goal, but it surely additionally blinded us.

Not less than that’s what we thought.

Which brings us to a kind of wonderful full-page adverts from that day in 1999.

“Get the last great deal of the millennium.”
