About The LA Globe

The LA Globe is an independent paper born in Los Angeles. We cover the place we live: local news from across L.A., from City Hall to L.A.’s neighborhoods, plus housing, transit, food and the Handbook, our step-by-step guides to life in L.A. We cover California too, and the U.S. and world news, politics, entertainment, sports, tech and opinion that reach far past the city line. Our staff and contributing writers write their own pieces, from columns and reviews to guides and stories built on public records. Much of our news also builds on other outlets’ reporting. When it does, we name that outlet and link to it. Our sourcing, corrections and team are on Masthead & Policies.
