About Illustrated Daily News in brief
The Daily News was a newspaper published in Los Angeles from 1923 to 1954. It was founded in 1923 by Cornelius Vanderbilt IV and bought by Manchester Boddy who operated it through most of its existence. In 1950, Boddy ran in both the Democratic and Republican primaries for the United States Senate. The business was sold to the Chandler family, who merged it with their publication, the Los Angeles Mirror, firing all Daily News employees without severance pay. The paper began publication on September 3, 1923, and was helped in its launch by the fact that the Great Tokyo Earthquake had just happened; it was able to provide full coverage, though using stock photographs of Japan. The tabloid format newspaper was to be devoted to the ideal of clean journalism and was prudish to an extreme: women’s skirts were retouched in photos to cover the knees, while photos of wrestlers were altered so they appeared to be wearing shirts. In December 1923, Vanderbilt expanded to San Francisco with the Illustrated Daily Herald and in February 1925 to Miami—the Illustrated Daily Tab on the cash on the land on the Florida coast. The newspaper paid for its staff’s transportation, something rare at the time, with nickels, so they could board streetcars and reach their assignments if they had sufficient money. The Daily News ceased publication in December 1954, after changes in ownership, and, following changes in the ownership, it was sold off to a private company for $1,000,000. The first edition of the new edition was published in first edition, forcing the first edition to stop the presses and publish Page Two before it was published each week.
In the second edition, a graphic sex story about Charlie Chaplin was published, forcing Vanderbilt, at considerable expense, to force the presses to stop and Page Two to be published every week. At one point, the Daily News had a staff of up to a hundred newsboys, who had to be treated at local hospitals after being assaulted by local police. The last edition was released in December 1925, and the staff was permitted to board the streetcars with taxicab to get to their assignments. In that edition, the newsboys were treated at the local hospitals and treated at a local hospital for being assaulted after being sexually assaulted. The next edition, published in December 1926, was published with a story about the death of Rep. Neil Armstrong, who was killed in a plane crash the day before the paper was due to go on the air. The following day, the paper ran the story about Armstrong’s death, and it was the first of several newspapers he wanted to manage. Vanderbilt had served as a news reporter in New York for four years, but had no experience running a paper. He wanted to start a chain of serious-minded tabloids in the West, a contrast to Lord Northcliffe’s own racy newspapers. Vanderbilt ignored attempts by the newspaper moguls who dominated Los Angeles journalism, William Randolph Hearst and Harry Chandler, to discourage him. He ignored them, but found that billboard companies would not give him space.
