Harry Chandler's Employee Paper


AMONG Ourselves, a paper for the Times employees and affiliates first printed in 1924 and is still published today. Despite Chandler, and his father-in-law's, firm stance against unions, the executives provided a warm environment for their employees. One of the new additions to the Times building on Spring and Second in Downtown was a cafeteria, among the many revolutionary additions to the workplace. This front page depicts Harry Chandler and hangs in the Times cafeteria beside many more issues. Though the LA Times functions with a very different sense of ethical responsibility, Chandler's legacy remains a respected cornerstone across the country and around the world.
