The Los Angeles Times building is seen on the eve of a board meeting of Tribune Co. directors that could decide the fate of the newspaper as a showdown between the Times and the Tribune Co. continues on Sept. 20, 2006 in Los Angeles. Times Publisher Jeffrey M. Johnson and Editor Dean Baquet have gone public with their refusal to make additional staff cuts requested by their Chicago bosses at the culmination of a rocky six-year ownership of the LA Times. Many reporters and editors believe the dispute is a stand for quality journalism, a position that upsets business managers.

The Los Angeles Times building is at the corner of Spring and First streets in downtown Los Angeles.

The historic Globe Lobby of the Los Angeles Times building is seen on March 30, 2007. According to the Times’ website, The lobby is one of the aesthetic highlights of the building. Its 10-foot-high murals were painted in 1935 by Hugo Ballin. The focal point is an aluminum globe, 5-1/2 feet in diameter, set on a bronze pedestal. The globe completes a rotation every five minutes.
