  In 1999, two Los Angeles Times reporters received the Pulitzer Prize for Beat Reporting for "their stories on corruption in the entertainment industry, including a charity sham sponsored by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences"
  After 14 years, in April 2002 NARAS and Greene parted ways. Greene stayed on as a consultant for one year to assist in the transition.
