NBC announced today that it will not air the #GoldenGlobes in 2022 after our investigation of the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.—the group behind the awards show latimes.com/entertainment-…
The HFPA has been accused of misconduct for years, but mounting pressure — including boycotts from celebs and studios — picked up steam this year following an L.A. Times investigation latimes.com/entertainment-…
Among several things, our investigation found that:

• the nonprofit HFPA regularly issues payments to members in ways that could run afoul of IRS guidelines
• members collected nearly $2M in payments in one fiscal year for serving on committees

The HFPA also faced backlash for not having a single Black member.

The organization drew criticism for this year’s slate of nominations, which did not include any of this year’s Black-led potential Oscar best picture contenders, including “Da 5 Bloods,” “Judas and the Black Messiah” and “Ma Rainey”

Celebrities, such as Scarlett Johansson, have also cited "sexist" treatment from HFPA members and have since boycotted the organization's events.

Scarlett Johansson has joined a growing Hollywood call to ditch the #GoldenGlobes latimes.com/entertainment-…
The actress said that her negative experiences with HFPA journalists led to her refusal to participate in their events.

Johansson's statement comes after the HFPA last week voted to move ahead with sweeping reforms.

(Netflix and Amazon studios — two of award season's biggest power players — had already started distancing themselves from the HFPA)

Only 7% of high school students have returned to campuses in the Los Angeles Unified School District. latimes.com/california/sto…
Attendance numbers at all grade levels in the district have been lower than expected based on earlier parent back-to-campus surveys: About 30% of elementary school children have returned and 12% of middle school students. latimes.com/california/sto…
Many of California’s largest school districts are struggling to persuade high school students to return to campuses amid safety restrictions that limit interactions with friends, restrict movement and offer part-time schedules. latimes.com/california/sto…

From climate change to voting rights, Patagonia has been willing to risk backlash by taking positions on contentious social issues.

It's a risk that has paid off.

latimes.com/business/story…
The rise of conscious capitalism has bred in younger consumers an expectation that the companies seeking their dollars should share their values.

It’s all a little daunting for companies hoping to make sales, not headlines.

latimes.com/business/story…
Patagonia has managed to pull off a high-wire act mixing business with activism throughout its 48-year history, its core business selling outdoor clothing seemingly bolstered by its progressive attitude and, at times, antics.

Returning to high school in Los Angeles Unified, the nation’s second-largest school district, means sitting in one classroom all day, two or three days a week, with little intermingling or movement.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The “Zoom in a room” option for in-person schooling — the format for high school in Los Angeles and San Francisco — has failed to draw back the majority of students.

LAUS is hardly alone in struggling to persuade high school students to return.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Most of California’s largest districts are providing a patchwork of reopening approaches based on how local school boards weighed risks and benefits and how they met demands from teacher unions over back-to-campus working conditions.
