PUBLIC WORKS & GANG REDUCTIO, MOTION Jonathan Gold was one of Los Angeles’ most celebrated food critics and the first food critic to win a Pulitzer Prize for Criticism in 2007. He wrote for the Los Angeles Times and had previously written for LA Weekly and Gourmet. He passed away on July 21, 2018. Jonathan Gold celebrated the diversity of our City by honoring something that has brought people together for generations, a delicious meal. His work reflected the love of cooking from chefs from all walks of life, both professional and informal. Jonathan Gold has left a lasting contribution to the food scene of Los Angeles. With his unwavering dedication of finding traditional cuisine throughout the City, whether it be in a strip mall in the Valley, at a small family owned restaurant in South LA, from a sidewalk vendor in Boyle Heights, or at a historic market and food hall in Downtown Los Angeles. In honor of his contribution to cuisine, criticism, and the LA food scene, the City should name the outdoor pedestrian plaza on Broadway, near the east-facing entrance of Grand Central Market, after Jonathan Gold. When the current “dress rehearsal” of pedestrian safety fixtures on Broadway, in front of Grand Central Market, transition into permanent infrastructure the City should reflect this memorial in the improvements to the plaza and adjacent sidewalk. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City of Los Angeles name after Jonathan Gold the pedestrian plaza on Broadway at the east entrance to Grand Central Market and include options in permanent designs for the pedestrian plaza to commemorate the life of Jonathan Gold. PRESENTED BY: JOSE HUIZAR Councilmember, 14th District SECONDED BY: 4 AUG 2 1 2018.

12Th National A&E Journalism Awards
Ben Mankiewicz Tarana Burke Danny Trejo Quentin Tarantino The Luminary The Impact Award The Visionary The Distinguished Award Award Storyteller Award 2019 TWELFTH ANNUAL Ann-Margret The Legend Award NATIONAL ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT JOURNALISM AWARDS LOS ANGELES PRESS CLUB 12TH ANNUAL National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards A Letter From the Press Club President Good evening and welcome to the 12th annual National Arts & Entertain- ment Journalism Awards. Think about how much the entertainment industry has changed since the Press Club introduced these awards in 2008. Arnold Schwarzenegger was our governor, not a Terminator. Netflix sent you DVDs in the mail. The iPhone was one year old. Fast forward to today and the explosion of technology and content that is changing our lives and keeping journalists busy across the globe. Entertainment journalism has changed as well, with all of us taking a much harder look at how societal issues influence Hollywood, from workplace equality and diversity to coverage of political events, the impact of social media and U.S.-China rela- tions. Your Press Club has thrived amid all this. Participation is way up, with more Chris Palmeri than 600 dues-paying members. The National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards have grown and changed as well. Tonight we’re in a ballroom in the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, but in 2008 the awards took place in the Steve Allen Theater, the Press Club’s old home in East Hollywood. That building has since been torn down. Our first event in 2008 featured a cocktail party with no host and only 111 entries in the competition.

Golter Master of Arts School of Music and Dance September 2017 Title: Women Rappers and Neoliberal Indifference: Reevaluating the Racial and Sexual Politics of Gangsta Rap in the Early 1988-1994 This thesis asks why women gangsta rappers have been excluded from virtually all academic and popular discourses about the genre. While ‘positive’ and ‘empowering’ New York-based female rappers in the late 80s and 90s are often referenced by those concerned with gangsta rap’s misogynistic tendencies, women rappers in Los Angeles who performed alongside male gangsta rappers, were represented on labels managed by gangsta rappers, and were otherwise self- consciously engaging in the gangsta rap style are almost never acknowledged by either the genre’s defenders or detractors.
