California State University, Northridge CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE PASADENA STAR -NEWS : THE FIRST HUNDRED YEARS A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Mass Communications by Kenneth Warren Chew May 1987 ----"';:---.--=-==---=~---lfl.~,p£ California State University, Northridge ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thousands of hours of my life were spent in acquiring the raw data that form the basis for this study. Countless more were spent in sorting, sifting, and weighing the information, then composing the words that appear on the following pages. But as self-sufficient as I would like to believe myself, I recognize the immense contributions made by many others before the completion of this work could be ensured. The important people include: My ever-supportive wife, Elaine, who suffered through countless nights and weekends without me while I gathered information and later wrote the chapters that she patiently critiqued. My three children, Lynn, Debbie, and Paul, who became "thesis orphans" during the project and learned to keep low profiles during the rare times that I was at home. My mother and father, Anne and Paul, who read the manuscript and offered personal observations about the Los Angeles area in earlier days and some of the important characters like Charles Paddock, who shared a French class at USC with my mother. Megs Meriwether, who provided tremendous insight into early-day Pasadena and invaluable advice on important community events; Charles Cherniss, Howard Collins, and other present and former Star-News employees, who helped immeasurably by sharing with me their knowledge of the newspaper; and Carolyn Garner, who guirled my way through thousands of feet of microfilm on past ne\vspaper issues at the Pasadena library--all· were instrumental in their respective areas. Drs. Tom Reilly, Michael Emery, and Ken Devol, who directed the project so capably. Maryann Gomes, who very nearly lost her job by helping make this thesis a reality. My everlasting gratitude to you all. iii p ' TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE Acknowledgments iii Abstract v Chapter 1. Introduction 1 Chapter 2. Review of the Literature 14 Chapter 3.

This thesis is a his­ tory of this past century and examines the newspaper under the various publishers and editors responsible for its production over the years. The information presented includes a view of the newspaper's politics and the interrelationships of the publication with the community dur­ ing its life. This research investigates these interactions and relationships through a comprehensive study of editorials, news stories, and opinion columns published by the Star-News since 1886, through an exhaustive content review. These data are supplemented by personal discussions and interviews with selected newspaper employees, both past and p:::-e­ sent, and other persons who are intimately familiar with the city of Pasadena, especially in the historical sense. The thesis addresses such issues as how changes in Star-News ownership affected the newspaper's philosophy, what effect did mergers have on the newspaper, and did group ownership introduce an economic stability to the Star-News that was lacking with family control. v CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TOPIC J. W. Wood, an early-day, influential Southern Californian and one of the founding fathers of Pasadena, writes that it was a "good paper, • • • rabidly Republican . [and] Pasadena's first real daily news- paper. 111 Les Wiltse, veteran newspaper production manager, says its 2 "goal is to reduce the number of composing room employees to zero. " Noted media critic, Ben Bagdikian, calls it "the most bizarre front page in the state. "3 And Typeworld, a leading trade journal in the publishing field, indicates that its "pagination system continues to be at the forefront of electronic prepress technology."4 The subject of these quotes is the Pasadena Star-News, a community newspaper that celebrated its hundredth anniversary of publication in 1986. This study follows the life of that newspaper since its first four-page issue was distributed on Wednesday, April 21, 1886, by the father and son team of H. J. and W. L. Vail. 5 In the following chapters, this history will examine the newspaper under the various publishers and editors responsible for its produc­ tion over the years, the political views it has favored under these different leaders, the interaction and relationship between the news­ paper and the city of Pasadena, and similar related topics. It culmi­ nates with the joint newspaper and city centennial in June 1986, which saw the Star-News currently serving in excess of 45,000 daily readers 6 in the thirteen communities that comprise the San Gabriel Valley. 1 2 FOCUS This history of the Pasadena Star-News focuses on the degree to which the newspaper has interacted with the city of Pasadena and its administrations through the successive publishers and editors of the publication during its hundred-year life. The research investigates these interactions through those editorials, news stories, and opin­ ion columns involving Pasadena policy as revealed by a comprehensive review of Star-News copies dating back to 1886. This shows the news­ paper's side of the story. To balance the study, the Star-News' views then are compared with data obtained during interviews and from print sources other than the newspaper. These data are studied without re­ gard to whether the Star-News article favored or rejected the position of the administration in control at that time. This thread is woven throughout the entire fabric of this study. RESEARCH QUESTIONS Particular attention will be paid to several questions considered vi tal to this research. The questions addressed by this study cover the entire life span of the Pasadena Star-News and its predecessors from the founding in 1886 to the current day one hundred years later. 1. How have successive publishers/owners changed the look and philosophy of the Star-News during its hw1dred-year history? 2. What effect have the newspaper's various mergers had on the Star-News/Pasadena relationship? 3. Did the purchase of the Star-News by a newspaper group intro­ duce an economic stability to the paper that did not exist under family ownership? 3 4. Did the gender of the Star-News publisher/owner influence or affect the newspaper's fonnat or otherwise cause changes in the coverage of political, editorial, or society-related material? 5. How did the Star-News view "boosterism" during the periods of high and low population growth in the area? 6. What factors have allowed the Star-News to remain in business for one hundred years? 7. Are circulation and profitability of prime consideration at the Star-News under Knight-Ridder? 8. How does this philosophy compare with the principal values of the newspaper under Prisk family ownership? SIGNIFICANCE OF WORK Community newspapers were the principal sources of infonnation in early California because of the limited communication techniques available during the latter part of the nineteenth century. This fact, coupled with the citizens' quests for information, resulted in newspapers exerting considerable influence on public opinion. 7 Remi Nadeau, for example, credited the Los Angeles News with in­ troducing more trade to the Los Angeles area in 1869 than "any other five men in the city." 8 Other early residents such as Judge Robert Maclay Widney used newspapers to spread the word on the benefits of Southern California living. Judge Widney authored a series of real estate articles in the 1870s proclaiming "the climate and agricultural advantages" of the Los Angeles area in an effort to induce population growth. 9 4 Charles Nordhoff, an early Southland resident, was probably the first to publish a "booster" book in 1873 that touted Los Angeles. It received widespread distribution throughout Canada, England, and the United States .. However, it wasn't until April 1892 that Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, later to be publisher of the Los Angeles Times, perfected the booster news release, which had been timed to coincide with the National Editorial Association's visit to Los Angeles. This release, which was aimed at the "back home" folk in Eastern cities, praised the virtues of Southern California weather and was the "earliest publicity handout in the history of journalism." (Ironically, that April visit saw the Los Angeles area register the highest temperatures recorded to date.)10 More convincing evidence of newspaper influence was the role of the local press in effecting the installation of a high protective fence atop the Colorado Street bridge that spans the Arroyo Seco and links Pasadena with Eagle Rock and Los Angeles. Before their action at the height of the Depression Era, seventy-nine persons jumped to their deaths from the structure, which by that time had earned the dubious title, "Suicide Bridge."11 In March 1930, Charles Prisk, Star-News owner and publisher, re- cei ved the coveted Arthur Noble Award for distinguished service to Pasadena. This award was in recognition of his personal contributions 12 and t h ose o f hIS. newspaper to t h e c1ty. and 1ts. res1.d ents. This study looks at the Pasadena Star-News as representative of the community newspaper, and, more importantly, one with the distinc- tion of having survived for one century of continuous publication.

  • The White City by Miles Clements the RUINS of the Echo Mountain
    The White City by Miles Clements THE RUINS of the Echo Mountain House appear like a low-budget Machu Picchu wrapped in smog, like a run-down Hollywood stand-in for some lost civilization. The building’s stone base, now crumbling into the mountain’s topsoil, traces the outline of the spot where the elaborate Victorian hotel once stood. In place of its seventy grand rooms are patches of overgrown chaparral and a pair of scorched pines. Sagebrush lizards dash through what was once the ornate lobby while a bluebird flies circles in the sky. At the site of the ruined structure, day hikers come and go. Some sit on the remaining tracks of the Mount Lowe Railway, taking in the obscured vistas of the Los Angeles basin and the San Gabriel Valley. Others, more intent on exploration, head to the strategically placed “Echophones” and shout into the megaphone-like devices, waiting for their voices to careen off the canyon walls. As the hikers’ yells slowly fade into the mountainside, a family of six ascends the granite staircase leading to the Echo Mountain House. They mill about the former chateau, taking pictures and eating granola bars. But after about fifteen minutes and a few swigs of water, the mother, donning a green Nike sweatshirt, corrals the family back into a small cluster. Walking past graffiti-covered plaques and huge, rusting railroad equipment, they head down the mountain and pack into their minivan, leaving their brief contact with the Echo Mountain House behind, surely taking only a few scant memories with them on their way back to the stucco houses and well-maintained lawns of Los Angeles’ suburbs.

  • Playhouse Village Self-Guided Tour
    Playhouse Village Walking Tour Pasadena, settled by a group of farmers from Indiana in the 1870s, originally developed along the Arroyo Seco to the west. Playhouse Village contains approximately 34 buildings, which represent the eastward growth of the City’s urban character and amenities during the 1920s and 1930s, after Pasadena’s economy had changed from agriculture to tourism. Development of this area was spurred by the construction of Pasadena’s grand and imposing Civic Center in the 1920s, promoting the construction of residential, religious and cultural facilities in the area we stand in today. Tour commences in front of USC Pacific Asia Museum, 46 N. Los Robles Ave. USC Pacific Asia Museum (46 N. Los Robles) – The leading Pasadena architectural firm of Marston, Van Pelt and Maybury was commissioned in 1924 by art dealer Grace Nicholson to design her Treasure House of Oriental Art. It was to be her dream Chinese palace, a combination private residence and art gallery. Modeled after buildings in Beijing’s Forbidden City, it is 32,570 square feet, and features an authentic Chinese court garden and a roof made of green bamboo- patterned tiles. Walk north to the corner of Los Robles and Union and look west, to City Hall and the remaining portion of the Maryland Hotel. Construction on City Hall was begun in 1925 and it is in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It was designed by John Bakewell and Arthur Brown, who also designed San Francisco’s City Hall, as well as much of the Stanford and Berkeley campuses. The Maryland Hotel once extended all the way to Colorado Boulevard, but only the portion you see remains today.

  • The Creative Society Environmental Policymaking in California,1967
    The Creative Society Environmental Policymaking in California,1967-1974 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Robert Denning Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Paula M. Baker, Advisor Dr. William R. Childs Dr. Mansel Blackford Copyright By Robert Denning 2011 Abstract California took the lead on environmental protection and regulation during Ronald Reagan‟s years as governor (1967-1974). Drawing on over a century of experience with conserving natural resources, environmentally friendly legislators and Governor Reagan enacted the strongest air and water pollution control programs in the nation, imposed stringent regulations on land use around threatened areas like Lake Tahoe and the San Francisco Bay, expanded the size and number of state parks, and required developers to take environmental considerations into account when planning new projects. This project explains why and how California became the national leader on environmental issues. It did so because of popular anger toward the environmental degradation that accompanied the state‟s rapid and uncontrolled expansion after World War II, the election of a governor and legislators who were willing to set environmental standards that went beyond what industry and business believed was technically feasible, and an activist citizenry that pursued new regulations through lawsuits and ballot measures when they believed the state government failed. The environment had a broad constituency in California during the Reagan years. Republicans, Democrats, students, bureaucrats, scientists, and many businessmen tackled the environmental problems that ii threatened the California way of life.
