Daily News celebrates 100 years in the Valley

It was on this day in 1913 that the pop-up town of Van Nuys — located at the intersection of a vast former wheat field turned dustbowl and a sandy seasonal flood wash — got a newspaper called the Call. Several changes of owner and name later, the Daily News of Los Angeles is still chugging along. The paper has been celebrating its centennial for a while now, including with a new book on the Valley's development — but not the book on the Valley — and today posts an editorial congratulating itself and a Dennis McCarthy column on a reunion of former Valley News and Green Sheet carriers.
