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.",

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.",

"content": "\u003cp>So many artists -- from Bruce Springsteen to Bob Dylan -- have recorded Woody Guthrie's famous ballad \"Deportee,\" about one of the worst airplane disasters in California history. But a big piece of the story was missing. Until now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One cold winter morning in January 1948, 32 passengers were killed when a plane crashed in Los Gatos Canyon, near the Central Valley town of Coalinga.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dead included 28 Mexican workers in the process of being deported by the U.S. government. Guthrie was outraged that newspaper accounts of the crash omitted the names of the Mexican passengers, simply calling them “deportees.\" So he penned a song, giving symbolic names to the dead:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Goodbye to my Juan, g\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">oodbye, Rosalita\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adios mis Amigos, Jesus y Maria;\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You won’t have your names when you ride the big airplane,\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">All they will call you will be \"deportees\"\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For seven decades, the real names of those deportees were unknown, their bodies buried in a mass grave in Fresno. Until \u003ca href=\"https://timzhernandez.com/\">Tim Z. Hernandez\u003c/a> -- a previous winner of the American Book Award for poetry -- spent years investigating in both Mexico and the U.S., interviewing families and unearthing records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The band Lance Canales and the Flood play a version of Woody Guthrie's \"Deportee,\" with author Tim Z.

From the book's forward:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>To stumble upon a plane crash is to stumble upon the fragmented and broken shards of stories, and to have faith that from these clues, our own glaring humanity offers enough light to fill in the unknown.

But a big piece of the story was missing. Until now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One cold winter morning in January 1948, 32 passengers were killed when a plane crashed in Los Gatos Canyon, near the Central Valley town of Coalinga.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dead included 28 Mexican workers in the process of being deported by the U.S. government. Guthrie was outraged that newspaper accounts of the crash omitted the names of the Mexican passengers, simply calling them “deportees.\" So he penned a song, giving symbolic names to the dead:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Goodbye to my Juan, g\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">oodbye, Rosalita\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adios mis Amigos, Jesus y Maria;\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You won’t have your names when you ride the big airplane,\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">All they will call you will be \"deportees\"\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For seven decades, the real names of those deportees were unknown, their bodies buried in a mass grave in Fresno. Until \u003ca href=\"https://timzhernandez.com/\">Tim Z.

"content": "\u003cp>The Pollyseeds' \u003ca href=\"http://www.soundsofcrenshaw.com\">“The Sounds of Crenshaw Volume 1”\u003c/a> album is deeply tied to roots in urban Los Angeles. \u003ca href=\"http://westernvinyl.com/artists/art-feynman\">Art Feynman\u003c/a>’s “Blasting Through the Wicker” comes on the heels of a relocation from his longtime East Coast home to Marin County’s relatively rustic Point Reyes. “Crenshaw” is a vibrant community effort, with more than a dozen musicians (including young jazz innovators Kamasi Washington and Robert Glasper) convened by producer-saxophonist-keyboardist Terrace Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Wicker” is a one-man effort made in the artist’s bedroom on a four-track cassette. Martin and crew celebrate the silky sounds of '70s soul and smooth jazz mixed with some hip-hop sensibilities. Feynman (aka Luke Temple of electro-folk band \u003ca href=\"http://herewegomagicband.tumblr.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Here We Go Magic\u003c/a>) draws on the burbling rhythms of African Highlife and German “Krautrock” mixed with the arty moodiness of Radiohead. One is driving around L.A. with the windows rolled down listening to soul station KJLH. The other is a hipster-tribal jam among the redwoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet, a sharp DJ could make a very cool summery pairing of the sexy sidewalk come-on of the Pollyseeds’ “Intentions” (featuring singer-rapper Chachi) and the bristling joy of Feynman’s pulsating “Feeling Good About Feeling Good.” Or, at the other end of a temperate night, the more somber reflection of the former’s “Up & Away” or the very subdued piano-centric “Wake Up” paired with the latter’s “Slow Down.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11554376\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-800x800.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-160x160.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-1020x1020.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-1180x1180.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-960x960.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-240x240.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-375x375.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-520x520.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a complementary compatibility to these compelling albums that together strongly evoke seasonal sensibilities and their whiffs of hazy nostalgia.

Martin and crew celebrate the silky sounds of '70s soul and smooth jazz mixed with some hip-hop sensibilities. Feynman (aka Luke Temple of electro-folk band \u003ca href=\"http://herewegomagicband.tumblr.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Here We Go Magic\u003c/a>) draws on the burbling rhythms of African Highlife and German “Krautrock” mixed with the arty moodiness of Radiohead. One is driving around L.A. with the windows rolled down listening to soul station KJLH. The other is a hipster-tribal jam among the redwoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet, a sharp DJ could make a very cool summery pairing of the sexy sidewalk come-on of the Pollyseeds’ “Intentions” (featuring singer-rapper Chachi) and the bristling joy of Feynman’s pulsating “Feeling Good About Feeling Good.” Or, at the other end of a temperate night, the more somber reflection of the former’s “Up & Away” or the very subdued piano-centric “Wake Up” paired with the latter’s “Slow Down.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11554376\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-800x800.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-160x160.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-1020x1020.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-1180x1180.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-960x960.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-240x240.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-375x375.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-520x520.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25935_wv162.2000-qut-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a complementary compatibility to these compelling albums that together strongly evoke seasonal sensibilities and their whiffs of hazy nostalgia.
