The Los Angeles Times Syndicate and the Los Angeles Times Syndicate International are newspaper syndicates which sold more than 140 features in more than 100 countries around the world. Syndicated features included Pulitzer Prize-winning commentators and columnists, full news and feature services, editorial cartoons and comics, online products and photo and graphics packages.
History
The syndicate was founded in c. 1949 by the Times Mirror Company as the Mirror Enterprises Syndicate. In the early 1960s the name was changed to the Los Angeles Times Syndicate, and was operated as a department of the Los Angeles Times newspaper.
In mid-1987, the Los Angeles Times Syndicate was the fifth-ranked syndication service, with 85 features.[1]
In 2000, upon completion of the merger with the Tribune Company,[2] it became a division of Tribune Media Services.
