Description
The history of the Daily Breeze spans three centuries. From its early days in the late 1890s through the years of 20th century scientific achievement right into the new millennium, the Daily Breeze has reported it all. It has been, and continues to be, the voice of the South Bay with an eye on the world.
Launched as a weekly in 1894 by retired druggist and local political activist S.D. "Doc" Barkley, it was first known as The Breeze and served the local Redondo Beach community with a population of 500. Slowly the newspaper's coverage and circulation included other beach cities; by 1922 it had become a daily publication boasting a readership of nearly 2,000. In the late 1920s the Daily Breeze became part of the Copley family holdings and continued to expand both its news coverage and circulation. That expansion continued through the war years and the post-war housing boom that changed the South Bay dramatically.
The Daily Breeze is one of 18 newspapers published by The Copley Press, based in La Jolla, Calif. The Copley Press Inc. is the sixth largest private family owned newspaper group in the United States and is the 19th largest newspaper group in the country, with news bureaus in Washington D.C., Mexico City, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Chicago and Springfield, Ill.
