He was a staff writer at the ''Providence Journal-Bulletin'' (Providence, Rhode Island) 1979–1981. He joined ''The Los Angeles Times'' as a financial writer 1981–1983, and was its financial correspondent in New York City 1982–1988, Nairobi bureau chief 1988–1993, Moscow correspondent 1993–1994. He was a financial staff writer, editor, and columnist at the ''Times'' 1994–2006.〔 More recently, he began writing a column about business and economic issues in the US West Coast. He won Silver Gavel award from the American Bar Association and the Overseas Press Club cited his reporting on East African issues. In 1996 he was a finalist for two Pulitzer Prizes, for his reporting on health care issues in California and his reporting on a major entertainment merger between Disney and ABC.〔 Along with ''Times'' staff writer Chuck Philips, Hiltzik won the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for the articles they wrote on corruption and bribes in the music industry. The year-long series exposed corruption in the music business in three different areas: The Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences raised money for an ostensible charity that netted only pennies on the dollar for its charity; radio station "payola," for airplay of new recordings; and the proliferation of exploitive and poorly conceived medical detox programs for celebrities. Mark Saylor, then entertainment editor of the business section of the paper, said it was especially rewarding because it recognized "aggressive reporting on the hometown industry . . . where The LA Times has long labored under a cloud, the misperception that ...()... were soft on the entertainment industry". The series led to the removal of C. Michael Green, then Grammy chief. In 2004, Hiltzik won a Gerald Loeb Award for his contributions to financial journalism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Michael A.
