Norman Chandler (September 14, 1899 – October 20,

1973) was the publisher of the Los

Angeles Times from 1945 to 1960. Chandler attended Stanford, where he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity (Sigma Rho

chapter). After dropping out of Stanford, Chandler started working at the

newspaper as a secretary to his father, Harry

Chandler, who had been its publisher since 1917. Norman Chandler

became general manager in 1936, president in 1941 and at his father’s death in

1944, the third publisher of the newspaper. The Times prospered under

Chandler, and gained regional, as well as national, prominence. In 1947 it

became the largest-circulation newspaper in Los Angeles, and in 1961 the Sunday

paper had a circulation of more than one million. Chandler retired as publisher

in 1960, leaving the job to his son Otis Chandler,

but remained as chairman of the board from 1961-1968. He funded the

construction of the Hollywood Palladium at a cost of $1.6 million

in 1940. His wife, Dorothy Buffum Chandler, led Los Angeles'

cultural revitalization in the 50s and 60s, first with the restoration of the Hollywood

Bowl, then with the construction of the Los Angeles Music Center (the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Mark Taper

Forum and the Ahmanson

Theatre).
