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.",

It will proceed with its lawsuit against Apple and other publishers, including Holtzbrinck Publishers, doing business as Macmillan, and The Penguin Publishing Co. Ltd., doing business as Penguin Group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit said the effort was a response to the success Amazon.com had in selling e-books for just under $10. The alleged conspiracy came as Apple was preparing to launch the iPad and called for Apple to be guaranteed a 30 percent commission on each e-book it sold, the lawsuit said. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To effectuate their conspiracy, the publisher defendants teamed up with defendant Apple, which shared the same goal of restraining retail price competition in the sale of e-books,\" the lawsuit said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple did not immediately respond to a comment request.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">The alleged conspiracy came as Apple was preparing to launch the iPad and called for Apple to be guaranteed a 30 percent commission on each e-book it sold, the lawsuit said. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Macmillan Chief Executive Officer John Sargent said in a letter to authors, illustrators and agents that the company has not settled because it is \"hard to settle a lawsuit when you know you have done no wrong.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said: \"Macmillan did not act illegally. Macmillan did not collude.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sargent said the filing of the lawsuit came after discussions with the Department of Justice that lasted months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But the terms the DOJ demanded were too onerous. After careful consideration, we came to the conclusion that the terms could have allowed Amazon to recover the monopoly position it had been building before our switch to the agency model,\" he said. \"We also felt the settlement the DOJ wanted to impose would have a very negative and long term impact on those who sell books for a living, from the largest chain stores to the smallest independents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the heart of the e-book pricing debate is the industry's ongoing concerns about Amazon. Publishers see the \"agency model\" as their best, short-term hope against preventing the online retailer from dominating the e-book market and driving down the price of books to a level unsustainable for publishers and booksellers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since launching the Kindle in 2007, Amazon has made a point of offering best-sellers for $9.99.

The retraction included host Ira Glass confronting Daisey on what Glass characterized as lies in both the original program and correspondence with \"This American Life\" staff. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's Daisey's response today, \u003ca href=\"http://mikedaisey.blogspot.com/index.html\">\u003cstrong>\u003cstrong>posted on his web site\u003c/strong>\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”\u003cbr>\n—another American monologist\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many consider this week’s THIS AMERICAN LIFE episode one of the most painful they’ve ever listened to. In particular the segment with me is excruciating—four hours of grilling edited down to fifteen minutes. I thought the dead air was a nice touch, and finishing the episode with audio pulled from my performance was masterful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s Ira’s choice, and it’s his show. He’s a storyteller within the context of radio journalism, and I am a storyteller in the theater.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Especially galling is how many are gleefully eager to dance on my grave expressly so they can return to ignoring everything about the circumstances under which their devices are made. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In the last forty-eight hours I have been equated with Stephen Glass, James Frey, and Greg Mortenson. Given the tenor of the condemnation, you would think I had concocted an elaborate, fanciful universe filled with furnaces in which babies are burned to make iPhone components, or that I never went to China, never stood outside the gates of Foxconn, never pretended to be a businessman to get inside of factories, never spoke to any workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Especially galling is how many are gleefully eager to dance on my grave expressly so they can return to ignoring everything about the circumstances under which their devices are made. Given the tone, you would think I had fabulated an elaborate hoax, filled with astonishing horrors that no one had ever seen before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Except that we all know that isn’t true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is nothing in this controversy that contests the facts in my work about the nature of Chinese manufacturing. Nothing. I think we all know if there was, Ira would have brought it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You certainly don’t need to listen to me. Read the New York Times reporting. Listen to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2012/03/12/148421415/apple-workers-plant-inspected-hours-before-blast\">NPR piece\u003c/a> that ran just last week in which workers at an iPad plant go on record saying the plant was inspected by Apple just hours before it exploded, and that the inspection lasted all of ten minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you think this story is bigger than that story, something is wrong with your priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If people want to use me as an excuse to return to denialism about the state of our manufacturing, about the shape of our world, they are doing that to themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To radio listeners: I apologized in this week’s episode to anyone who felt betrayed. I stand by that apology. But understand that if you felt something that connected you with where your devices come from—that is not a lie. That is art. That is human empathy, and it is real, and even if you curse my name I hope you’ll recognize that and continue reading, caring, and thinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To my audiences: It’s you that I owe the most to. I want you all to know that I will not go silent—I will be making a full accounting of this work, shining a light through this monologue and telling the story of its origins, construction, and details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I believe the truth is vitally important. I continue to believe that. I believe that I will answer for the things I have done. I told Ira that story should always be subordinate to the truth, and I still believe that. Sometimes I fall short of that goal, but I will never stop trying to achieve it.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
