A special thanks to the Los Angeles Times photography blog, Framework for sharing this snapshot of the their photography staff from 1941. The photo was originally published in the January, 1941 edition of ``Among Ourselves’’, the L.A. Times’ employee newspaper.
For those astute newspaper historians-you're absolutely right- the camera doesn't lie, that is indeed General Manager Norman Chandler and Editor L.D. Hotchkiss pictured in the group shot. On Feb. 26, 1941, Chandler was elected President of Times-Mirror Co.
Pictured here, beginning from left to right kneeling: Jack Herod, Hugh Arnott, J. H. McCrory, chief photographer. Standing left to right: Robert Ritchie, Maurice Terrell, Robert Jakobsen, General Manager Norman Chandler, Editor L.D. Hotchkiss, Phil Bath, Al “Red” Humphreys, Marshall Benedict, Horton Churchill, Paul Calvert and Art Rogers.
