It is owned by Patrick Soon-Shiong and published by the Times Mirror Company. The newspaper’s coverage emphasizes California and especially Southern California stories.

In recent decades the paper's readership has declined, and it has been beset by a series of ownership changes, staff reductions, and other controversies.
