Which Way, L.A.? ·

2014/12/04

Big changes have come to local ports since the Great Recession. Traffic moves faster, the competition is stiffer and cargo ships are massively bigger. It's all leading in the direction of automation -- and that means fewer jobs. As part of KCRW's week-long look at the ports, we bring you a special, in-depth look at those changes and the people affected by them.

2014/11/27

Would you rather spend Thanksgiving Day with the family or look for discounts at retailers? You’ll have more choices this year as more and more chains are opening on the holiday. But others are striking back, staying closed and boasting that they’re more “family friendly.” Is opening on America’s Day of Thanks a kind of secular sacrilege, or should the marketplace decide?

Years of sexual abuse at Miramonte Elementary School will cost LA Unified $169 million. Is that what it took to protect dozens of children from re-living sexual abuse in a lengthy trial, or is it being paid to protect the District? Would testimony have revealed years of institutional negligence?

Smog Is Back with a Vengeance Thanks to the Drought

Which Way, L.A.? ·

2014/11/18

Years of drought are slowing California’s progress against air pollution. Increased heat creates more ozone and, without rain, particulates just hang in the air. It’s reduced visibility in the Los Angeles Basin. It’s bad news for people with asthma and cardiovascular disease, especially children. And was it ever a good idea to build housing near busy freeways?

2014/11/07

President Obama has been called “the deporter in chief,” but he holds a special place for the “Dreamers.” They’re the children brought to this country by undocumented parents — educated here and imbued with American culture — but not qualified for citizenship.
