Daniel Hernandez, 25, says Los Angeles Times editors gave him freedom and room to work, and pushed him to push himself. "But The Times has a very clear, very rigid tradition on how to report the news. Shortly after I got there, I started having these long, tortured thought sessions with myself about my participation in the MSM. ...I started realizing that the mainstream style on reporting the news that most papers employ is not really concerned with depicting the truth, but concerned primarily with balancing lots of competing agendas and offending the least amount of interests as possible." Hernandez now writes for L.A. Weekly.
