  • From utility man to one of California's foremost journalists

    From utility man to one of California's foremost journalists
    May 9 2024
    Louis Sahagún first arrived at the Los Angeles Times in his early twenties as a utility worker, sweeping lead dust around the printing machines.

    But it was the buzzing newsroom that inspired Sahagún to soon spend his lifetime writing stories about the undiscovered characters and corners of California.

    Now after 43 years, he's retiring from the paper, and reflecting on what motivated him to cover a side of the Golden state that remained unknown to many.

  • Israel seized control of the Rafah border crossing. The impact could be devastating

    Israel seized control of the Rafah border crossing. The impact could be devastating
    May 8 2024
    The Biden administration has put a hold on an arms shipment to Israel. A senior administration official speaking on the condition of anonymity told NPR it was due to concerns the bombs could be used in Rafah.

    Rafah is the site of Israel's latest campaign in its war against Hamas. It's also home to some 1.3 million Palestinians. More than half of those people have fled fighting in other parts of Gaza.

    On Monday night, Israeli tanks rolled into Rafah taking control of the Palestinian side of the border crossing with Egypt.

    The seizure of the border crossing cuts a key supply line for humanitarian aid.

    Israel says its incursion in Rafah is a "precise counterterrorism operation." But possible further military action along with the closed border crossing could exacerbate a humanitarian catastrophe.

  • Brittney Griner shares her experience behind bars in Russia

    Brittney Griner shares her experience behind bars in Russia
    May 7 2024
    Brittney Griner didn't know the flight she was taking to Moscow in February 2022 would upend her life. But even before she left for the airport, Griner felt something was off.

    It was a premonition that foreshadowed a waking nightmare.

    She had accidentally left two vape cartridges with traces of cannabis oil in her luggage. What followed was nearly 10 months of struggle in a cell, and diplomatic efforts from the U.S. to get her home.

    Griner reflects on the experience in her new memoir, 'Coming Home' and discusses it in depth with NPR's Juana Summers.
