Los Angeles Evening Record

The Los Angeles Record was a daily newspaper of the Greater Los Angeles area of California, United States in the first half of the 20th century. Associated with the Scripps chain of newspapers, it was founded on March 4, 1895.[2]: 29 [3]: 408  The Record was an evening newspaper, perceived to be politically independent, and its offices were on Wall Street for much of its 20th-century history.[2]: 37  In the 1920s, the Record was one of six dailies competing for readership in the city.[4] The newspaper ultimately developed a fairly populistic, working-class editorial approach that stood out amongst the city's dailies, especially compared to the arch-capitalist Los Angeles Times.[5]: 85
