Los Angeles Times Largest Metropolitan Daily in United States

The Los Angeles Times is Southern California’s paper of record and the largest metropolitan daily in the United States, reaching more readers on latimes.com than any other regional newsroom. Forty million unique browsers land on the site each month equal to the population of California itself drawn by a newsroom of 550 journalists who file 200 stories a day in English, Spanish, and Korean. Investigative projects like “The Times’ Fire Map” live-update every five minutes with Cal Fire satellite feeds, while the 2023 podcast “The Battle for L.A.” hit No. 1 on Apple News, adding 1.2 million new digital subscriptions in a single quarter.

Sunday print still matters: 1.6 million readers unfold the broadsheet for long-form narrative, crosswords, and the iconic “Column One” feature, while 4.4 million Angelenos consume the brand across print, apps, newsletters, and streaming verticals each week. A proprietary geo-targeting engine pushes wildfire evacuation alerts down to ZIP-code level, and the same CMS syndicates restaurant reviews to 120 DoorDash tablets in real time. From Oscars red-carpet live blogs to border-policy deep-dives, the L.A. Times has turned regional loyalty into national influence without ever leaving Sunset Boulevard.
