‘Dora the Explorer’

In 1998, three writers were tasked to create the next hit show for Nick Jr., Nickelodeon’s preschool programming. They landed on creating a show centered around a young girl who would engage with an audience of kids, ages 2 to 5, for help in solving mysteries and going on adventures. The show would become “Dora the Explorer.” Almost 20 years later, Dora is being reimagined as a teenager in a new live-action film called “Dora and the Lost City of Gold.” Latino USA dives into the legacy of “Dora the Explorer” — then and now. see more

UC Davis is once again in the news for a 2011 incident it would rather forget. According to the Sacramento Bee, the school spent $175,000 trying to bury negative online coverage of the now infamous scene of a campus police officer pepper-spraying a group of student Occupy protesters. We'll speak with the reporter who uncovered the university's payments to two "online reputation management" companies.
