A two-time Fulbright Scholar (Shanghai, 1991-2 and Taiwan, 2004), he was also a Knight-Bagehot Fellow in Economics and Business Journalism at Columbia University in 1978-79.
A former bureau chief covering Los Angeles County government for the Los Angeles Daily News, and a reporter-producer for PBS station KCET in Los Angeles, Lindorff was also a founder and editor of the weekly Los Angeles Vanguard newspaper, established in 1976, where he won the Grand Prize of the Los Angeles Press Club for his reporting. Lindorff also worked at the Minneapolis Tribune (now the Star Tribune), the Santa Monica Evening Outlook and the Middletown Press in Connecticut.
He is the author of four books, the most recent being The Case for Impeachment: The Legal Argument for Removing President George W. Bush from Office, written with attorney Barbara Olshansky of the Center for Constitutional Rights.
An investigative reporter since 1973, Lindorff has won numerous awards for his work, including the grand prize of the Los Angeles Press Club, two "Most Censored" awards from Project Censored, the most recent in 2011 (for an article on US and NATO depleted uranium use in the bombing of Libya in 2011, which was included in the Project Censored book: Censored 2012: The Top 25 Censored Stories of 2011-2012), and a Brock Award for writing on agricultural issues.
