AirTalk Live at the Skirball: The History of News Media in LA

Our celebration of the 40th anniversary of AirTalk continues with a walk down memory lane at the Skirball Cultural Center. L.A. has a rich history of news coverage highlighting some of the biggest stories to grip the nation: Rodney King, the O.J. Simpson car chase, natural disasters, including the recent wildfires that destroyed the cities of Altadena and Pacific Palisades, to name just a few. Larry Mantle and AirTalk have been there covering major stories like these for the last four decades, and boy have things changed. Join host Larry Mantle as he and others talk about the history of news media in L.A. from radio, to the Los Angeles Times, to news choppers, and how things have evolved.

This program is presented in partnership with Skirball Cultural Center.
