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.",

She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Organizers say the outdoor festival regularly attracts more than 60,000 people to downtown Fruitvale. This year's festival -- held on Sunday, Oct. 29 -- was the 22nd and included traditional Aztec dancing, live music, more than 100 Latin American vendors and 30 altars designed by local artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A large part of Dia de los Muertos includes building altars, or \u003cem>ofrendas\u003c/em>, to loved ones who have died.

The Mexican holiday, which honors and remembers the dead, was originally celebrated in the summer, but after a few hundred years and some mixing of Spanish Catholicism, it now takes place in the fall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, the holiday falls on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, community Day of the Dead celebrations are becoming more popular including the annual Dia de los Muertos Festival in Oakland, which is put on by the Unity Council. Organizers say the outdoor festival regularly attracts more than 60,000 people to downtown Fruitvale. This year's festival -- held on Sunday, Oct. 29 -- was the 22nd and included traditional Aztec dancing, live music, more than 100 Latin American vendors and 30 altars designed by local artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A large part of Dia de los Muertos includes building altars, or \u003cem>ofrendas\u003c/em>, to loved ones who have died. They’re filled with items that are thought to help guide spirits back home like attractive and fragrant yellow and orange marigolds. Copal and salvia incense is also often burned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And of course, favorite foods of the dead, like avocados and apples, are laid out along with brightly colored sugar skulls, calaveras figurines, candles and photos of the deceased fill out the rest of traditional altars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11626710\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-26.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-26-800x600.jpg\" alt='Lilia Olson entitled her altar \"Memories.\" ' width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11626710\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-26-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-26-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-26-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-26-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-26-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-26-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-26-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-26-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-26-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Artist Lilia Olson entitled her altar \"Memories.\" It is filled with photos, calaveras and other items important to her loved ones. \u003ccite>(Tiffany Camhi/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11626727\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/RS27801_Image-uploaded-from-iOS-5-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11626727\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/RS27801_Image-uploaded-from-iOS-5-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Artist Gonzalo Hildago included a reference to DACA -- or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals -- on his altar.

He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child. He went on to study Russian and math at UC Berkeley in the 1970s and he helped found Berkeley’s groundbreaking \u003ca href=\"http://www.thecil.org/\">Center for Independent Living\u003c/a>, which has become a nationwide model.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Filmmaker Brad Bailey made the documentary as his thesis project at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism. He just picked up a Student Academy Award for the project, joining some big names like Spike Lee and Robert Zemeckis. He spoke with Sasha Khokha, host of The California Report Magazine. What follows are some excerpts from their radio interview. \u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcrmag/2017/10/Hale2Way.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/Hale-Crop.jpg\" Title=\"Meet the Berkeley Man Who Helped Lead the Disability Rights Movement\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>On choosing to tell the story of Hale Zukas: \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was heading to school to return some equipment one day, and I saw this interesting man in a wheelchair in the courtyard of the journalism school. When I saw him, I could tell that he had overcome a lot of obstacles, despite whatever perceived limitations people may think he has. There was something very witty and very intelligent about him. He’s got a wicked sense of humor, that came out immediately. And then I found out later that he was one of the country’s premier disability rights activists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>How disability touched Bailey's own life, and influenced his decision to make the film:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I was 15, my dad had an accident.
