The Los Angeles Herald, founded in 1873 by Harris & Lyman, quickly established itself as a significant voice in Southern California journalism. Widely respected for its journalistic integrity, the newspaper offered a rich mix of local news, politics, arts, and sports, and played a crucial role in covering major events such as the devastating 1933 Long Beach earthquake. Its influence continued until the Herald merged with the Los Angeles Express in 1931, marking an important chapter in L.A.'s media history.
