The Mission
The LA Globe has one job: to bring Los Angeles to the world the way it actually is. Not the postcard and not the punchline. The real city — the kitchens and the courtrooms, the freeways and the stages, the people who make it run and the people who make it sing.
Los Angeles is where the world comes to reinvent itself. What happens here — in food, in culture, in how a giant city solves its problems or fails to — happens everywhere else a few years later. We cover the beating heart of that: the stories that show what this place is and where it is going.
We do it desk by desk, in plain words, for the people who live here and for everyone who wonders what it is like to. Independent. New. Ours. The editor wrote about starting it: Why Start a Paper in Los Angeles in 2026 →

Most stories carry a desk’s byline, like The LA Globe — City Desk. A reporter’s name goes on the stories from that reporter’s beat, and each reporter’s page lists them all.
The LA Globe covers U.S. and world news, politics, entertainment, tech, sports, food and opinion, plus a daily game — from Los Angeles, where it was born, to the world.
Sourcing
News, Food & Drink, Transit, Entertainment, and In Review coverage is analysis and digest of reporting by other outlets. The outlet that did the reporting is credited and linked in every story — attribution is not a courtesy here, it is the format. Opinion columns are original.

The Globe corrects errors promptly and visibly. If something published here is wrong, write to editor@thelaglobe.com with "Correction" in the subject line; corrected stories carry a note explaining what changed. Every one of those notes is listed in one place: Corrections →

How we work
