The family moved in the 1910s from Boston to Venice, California. Greenberg covered crime, labor and politics for the Hearst paper the Los Angeles Examiner for 29 years, until the paper closed in 1962; afterwards he worked for The Los Angeles Times. He retired from his newspaper career leaving his final post as Political Editor of the Times in 1973.^[1]
