History of newspapers in California
On October 1, 1910, a bomb exploded at the L.A. Times building, killing 21 workers. Labor activists were blamed for the bombing, but the San Francisco "Daily News", a four-penny paper started in 1903, defended them. The "Daily News" joined the Scripps-Howard in 1921. "The People's World" began publishing in 1938, the first leftist daily published in the West.
