02.10.2007     Podcast - First Freedoms: The Los Angeles Times and the Right to a Free Press

First Freedoms: The Los Angeles Times
and the Right to a Free Press, 1881-2006

This exhibit and podcast look at the ways in which the Los Angeles Times has both supported and influenced First Amendment rights throughout much of its 125-year history. Topics addressed include the paper’s survival and defiance in the face of the deadly bombing of the building in 1910; its Pulitzer Prize in 1942 for advocacy of First Amendment rights for all American newspapers; and its decision in the 1970s to ban pornographic advertising. Among the unique items on view are the actual Pulitzer Prize medals won by the paper; digital content reflective of the Times’ activities in the sphere of the paper’s rights; original artwork by controversial cartoonist Paul Conrad; and the only surviving copy of the first day of publication, December 4, 1881, preserved in The Huntington’s collection.
