The Larchmont Chronicle is a monthly community newspaper serving Larchmont Village, Hancock Park, Windsor Square, Fremont Place, Park La Brea and Miracle Mile. It is independently owned.

History
In 1963, two young women canvassed the Larchmont area in Los Angeles to start a community newspaper. The first issue of the Larchmont Chronicle was mailed to 10,000 families in the upper income areas of Hancock Park and Windsor Square. The women, Dawne Goodwin and Jane Gilman, secured 28 advertisers for the first 12-page issue. They each earned $250 on the first issue, and have been in the black ever since. The Chronicle later expanded its coverage and is now hand-delivered in a plastic bag to 21,000 households.

Awards
The Larchmont Chronicle has been commended by many organizations for its support and promotion of their objectives. Non-profit agencies who have given awards include the American Red Cross, Wilshire Chamber of Commerce, Wilshire Community Police Council, the Los Angeles Conservancy, Windsor Square-Hancock Park Historical Society, City Councilman Tom LaBonge and the Miracle Mile Civic Coalition.

Coverage
Hancock Park, Windsor Square, Fremont Place, Larchmont Village, Brookside, Windsor Village, Miracle Mile, Park La Brea, the Palazzo East and West and the Villas. It has an estimated readership of 76,439.

Pricing
The Larchmont Chronicle is a free newspaper to the community it serves, but a yearly donation of $25 may be paid.
