Columbia Journalism Review :: The Ford Foundation’s million-dollar grant to the Los Angeles Times is a good omen. It’s a two-year deal, $1.04 million to be exact, and renewable, with no strings attached beyond the foundation’s larger goal of using journalism to address inequality and injustice. The Times will use the money to hire five beat reporters to cover prisons, immigrant communities, the Mexican borderlands, and Brazil.
