Alan Hagman Photojournalism Grant

The $6,000 Alan Hagman Photojournalism grant is named for the late Los Angeles Times photo editor who served as a mentor and championed the work of photojournalists throughout his career. The annual grant helps to facilitate projects ranging from human rights to environmental issues. A creative approach to important stories that might otherwise go untold is highly valued. The grant is supported by donations from the Hagman family and Alan’s friends and colleagues.
