The Staff was an underground newspaper published in Los Angeles in the 1970s, printing many anti-war articles, and also covering the music scene and popular culture.

This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (May 2019)

The Staff came into existence as a result of the temporary demise of the Los Angeles Free Press, which had been founded and published by Art Kunkin; much of the staff of the Free Press, led by managing editor Brian Kirby and art director Phil Wilson, left to form their own newspaper, calling it The Staff.^[1]

They first moved into quarters on Santa Monica Boulevard near Cahuenga Boulevard, in Hollywood, California. They later relocated to Hollywood Boulevard, just west of Western Avenue, in offices above a movie theater that was at that time showing softcore pornography.^[1]
