VOICES- Re ‘What the Port of LA Won’t Tell You’ … You tell readers: “remember the courage of those who speak truth to power in journalism, they too are defenders of our democracy."

These publishers have to protect their businesses and too much investigative reporting is a business risk for papers dependent on the government, as all of them are.
