Otis Chandler was the publisher of the Los Angeles Times between 1960 and 1980, leading a large expansion of the newspaper and its ambitions. He was the final member of the Chandler family to hold the paper's top position. Chandler made improvement of the paper's quality a top priority, succeeding in raising the product's reputation, as well as its profit margins. "No publisher in America improved a paper so on so grand a scale, took a paper, marginal in qualities and brought it to excellence as Otis Chandler did," journalist David Halberstam wrote in his history of the company. Chandler's family owned a stake in the newspaper since his great-grandfather Harrison Gray Otis joined the company in 1882, the year after the Los Angeles Daily Times began publication, he was the son of Norman Chandler, his predecessor as publisher, Dorothy Buffum Chandler, a patron of the arts and a Regent of the University of California. His grandfather, Charles Abel Buffum, was a businessman who founded Buffum's, a department store chain, with his brother, Edwin E. Buffum, a politician, who served as Mayor of Long Beach, California.

Chandler was raised to share his family's distaste for labor unions, a tradition that favored the family's financial interests. As a child, each year his parents held a memorial for the 1910 Los Angeles Times bombing, linked to political agitators, that killed 20 Times workers. "I was raised to hate the unions," Chandler said."Oats" was Chandler's nickname within the family. Times editorial page editor Anthony Day observed that Chandler "had been raised to be a prince". Chandler said his motivation to invest in The Times' quality could be attributed, at least in part, to his desire to combat the East Coast opinion that, "The Times was regarded as a bad newspaper from a hick town". Chandler attributed his pursuit of solo athletics like shotputting and weightlifting to the same sources, saying, "No one could say that the team carried me or that the coach put me in because my name was Chandler". Chandler was raised on a 10-acre citrus ranch in Sierra Madre owned by his parents. Despite his family's wealth, Chandler's father insisted that he perform field labor and did not spoil him with gifts.

There Chandler spent much of his time alone in life unable to name a single childhood friend. At the age of 8, Chandler was thrown to the ground during a horseback riding lesson, his mother rushed him to a hospital, where doctors reported he was dead. His mother rushed him to a second hospital, where a doctor she knew revived him with an adrenaline shot to the heart. Chandler first attended the Polytechnic School in Pasadena making his commute by bicycle, he would attend the Cate School boarding school in Carpinteria before his parents elected to send him east to attend Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. At the time he enrolled at Phillips, Chandler weighed 155 pounds; as a student he competed in basketball, the high jump and weightlifting. By the time of graduation, he weighed 200 pounds. Chandler enrolled at his parents' alma mater, Stanford University, in 1946. Like his father, he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. At Stanford he was a successful shot putter, he broke the freshman school record with a toss of 761/47 inches.

After bulking up to 6-foot, 3 inches and 220 pounds, he won the Pacific Coast Conference title and finished second in the nation during his senior year with a toss of 57 feet, 63/47 of an inch while serving as his team's captain. As a weightlifter, Chandler finished third in the nation competing in the heavyweight division. A sprained wrist kept him from competing as a shot putter for the United States in the 1952 Summer Olympics. After graduation, Chandler tried to enroll in an Air Force training program, but was turned down because he was too large to fit in the cockpit of a jet. Instead, he spent 1951 to 1953 in the Air Force's ground service, as a co-captain of the track team and supervisor of athletics and drama at Camp Stoneman in Pittsburg, California. On his 23rd birthday, Chandler proposed to his college sweetheart, Marilyn Brant, on the seventh hole of the Pebble Beach golf course, their first child was a boy named Norman after Chandler's father. Chandler visited The Times as a child, sliding down chutes that were used to drop papers to delivery trucks.

While in college, he sometimes worked summers at the paper, most moving printing plates and other heavy equipment. Despite that, Chandler did not envision journalism as a career during his youth. After leaving the Air Force in 1953, he had little direction for his career; when he arrived at his parents' home with his wife and first child, his father presented him with credentials for a seven-year executive training program at The Times. He started work right away as a pressroom apprentice on the graveyard shift; the pay was $48 a week. His father made sure that Chandler experienced work in all sections of the organization, assigning him to jobs in the industrial production of the paper, business management, clerical administration, the news-gathering operation. In 1960, he became publisher of the Los Angeles Times, he increased the budget of the paper, allowing it to expand its coverage. This coincided with the shift of the paper's editorial stance from overtly conservative to independent. Under Otis Chandler, The Times became a critically lauded newspaper.

When Chandler took the job, the paper had only two outside offices. During his tenure it would expand to 34 domestic bureaus. In 1966 Chandler received the Elijah Parish Lovejoy Award as well as an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Colby College. Ch
