"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

(Rachael Marcus/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Stockton city officials built a freeway off-ramp just next to Little Manila. The neighborhood began to crumble. One by one, many of the SRO hotels were torn down. The building that housed Pablo Mabalon's diner was torn down in 1999, replaced by a McDonald's restaurant and a 76 gas station. Whatever the impetus, it's not an area most visitors would want to linger in today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mabalon has big dreams for this neighborhood. She helped found the \u003ca href=\"http://www.littlemanila.org/\">Little Manila Foundation\u003c/a>, which fended off the demolition of three remaining buildings from the era. They put up street banners with photographs recalling the glory days. They got the area designated as a historic site. The Foundation hopes to restore those buildings, and set up a museum inside one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why bother? Mabalon says Little Manila has stories to tell us, about Filipino history, California history and, ultimately, American history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/108026422\" params=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Rachael Marcus/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Stockton city officials built a freeway off-ramp just next to Little Manila. The neighborhood began to crumble. One by one, many of the SRO hotels were torn down. The building that housed Pablo Mabalon's diner was torn down in 1999, replaced by a McDonald's restaurant and a 76 gas station. Whatever the impetus, it's not an area most visitors would want to linger in today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mabalon has big dreams for this neighborhood. She helped found the \u003ca href=\"http://www.littlemanila.org/\">Little Manila Foundation\u003c/a>, which fended off the demolition of three remaining buildings from the era. They put up street banners with photographs recalling the glory days. They got the area designated as a historic site. The Foundation hopes to restore those buildings, and set up a museum inside one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why bother? Mabalon says Little Manila has stories to tell us, about Filipino history, California history and, ultimately, American history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
