About
LA Press is an independent digital newspaper. The name is the brand. It is not a claim that we staff a Los Angeles bureau, and we do not print a dateline we have not earned.
Qasim Khan is the publisher. The newsroom is editorial@lapress.org. Tips: tips@lapress.org. The publisher is qasim@lapress.org.
What we cover
News, world, politics, business, culture, sports, technology, science, health, environment, education, games, and opinion. Staff and contributing writers file under their own bylines.
- News — Public events, institutions, and the record as it stands.
- World — International affairs, governments, and the institutions between them.
- Politics — Elections, legislatures, parties, and public power.
- Business — Companies, labor, markets, and the economy as it is lived.
- Culture — Books, film, music, food, design, and the rooms they occupy.
- Sports — Competition, clubs, labor, and the governance of sport.
- Tech — Products, platforms, and the policy around them.
- Science — Research, journals, and how a finding earns the page.
- Health — Public health, medicine as policy, and the evidence behind a claim.
- Environment — Climate, land, energy, and the living world.
- Education — Schools, universities, and the policy that funds them.
- Games — Games as culture, industry, and design — reported, not listed.
- Opinion — Signed comment, distinct from the news report.
Each section has a desk charter on the archive and at least one signed article explaining how that beat is reported. Entertainment is a stream of Culture, not a separate mill. Explainers are a second label on method pieces, not a masthead section.
Who writes
Stories are assigned to staff and contributing writers. Every signed article carries a byline and a date. Writers are added to the masthead as they join. Until a name appears on a story, it should not be assumed. Unsigned pages — About, Masthead, and the policy documents — are institutional and are the publisher’s responsibility.
How to read us
News is the report. Opinion is labeled Opinion. A review is criticism, not an advertisement. We do not invent quotations, datelines, or eyewitness detail. Material errors are corrected on the article and, when they affect readers, on Corrections.
What we do not publish
We do not sell links, guest posts, or coverage. We do not invent quotations, datelines, or eyewitness detail. We do not publish medical or personal financial advice, exam-result mills, or redeem-code lists. Native advertising, if we ever run it, will be labeled as such.
