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.",

Critics argue that, at best, platforms aren’t doing enough to moderate toxic content. At worst, they say, platforms are intentionally amplifying toxic content to profit off of the advertising revenue it brings in, a process they’ve dubbed the “hate-for-profit” economic model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That growing backlash comes even as these platforms, which treat much of their data as proprietary intellectual property, make it difficult for journalists, academic researchers and advocacy groups to keep track of problematic content and efforts to control it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are unable to say how significant the harms are, and therefore, whether there is enough being done to combat them,” said Ivan Sigal, executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://globalvoices.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Global Voices\u003c/a>, a citizen media network that operates in about 40 languages. “We do not have visibility into the companies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Reaching Across Borders\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Global Voices conducted an in-depth, international study of popular COVID-19 content in a dozen different languages.

And it was happening both in Spanish, in Aymara and in other indigenous languages.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Critics argue that, at best, platforms aren’t doing enough to moderate toxic content. At worst, they say, platforms are intentionally amplifying toxic content to profit off of the advertising revenue it brings in, a process they’ve dubbed the “hate-for-profit” economic model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That growing backlash comes even as these platforms, which treat much of their data as proprietary intellectual property, make it difficult for journalists, academic researchers and advocacy groups to keep track of problematic content and efforts to control it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are unable to say how significant the harms are, and therefore, whether there is enough being done to combat them,” said Ivan Sigal, executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://globalvoices.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Global Voices\u003c/a>, a citizen media network that operates in about 40 languages. “We do not have visibility into the companies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Reaching Across Borders\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Global Voices conducted an in-depth, international study of popular COVID-19 content in a dozen different languages.

The city also offers alternative housing like hotels to suspected and confirmed COVID-19-positive patients who can't quarantine well enough in SROs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To date, 1,209 people living in SROs have tested positive for COVID-19, spread across 264 SRO buildings, with 15 deaths as a result of the virus, \u003ca href=\"https://data.sfgov.org/stories/s/COVID-19-Cases-Deaths-in-SROs/j28y-d6d4/\">according to the city's COVID-19 dashboard\u003c/a>. About 400 people living in SROs have stayed at a city-provided isolation and quarantine site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Jian Zhang is the CEO of Chinese Hospital, which has served Chinatown since 1925. While she acknowledged there has been a lot done to help SRO residents, she said those were also hard-fought wins by the community to obtain more help from the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When San Francisco's shelter-in-place order first began last year, she toured Chinatown SRO buildings to assess their pandemic vulnerability. Zhang began to imagine the possibility for viral spread in tight living quarters with little opportunity for quarantine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I actually walked through the SROs, tears literally came out,\" Zhang said. \"You have an entire floor of 16 or more living on one floor. You have one bathroom, one kitchen. How is it possible to social distance? There's no way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHwh748tA7A\">PBS NewsHour highlighted that effort\u003c/a> in July. SRO resident Yongfaz Zhu told reporters in Cantonese, through a translator, \"We have little space in here besides the bed. We don't have our own kitchen, we don't have our own restroom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zhang quickly wrote a grant proposal for free, robust testing in her community, including at SROs. While those efforts aided in preventing large community outbreaks, Zhang said prioritizing a vaccine is still necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nobody can predict which SRO will have it, or whether we can control it on a timely basis,\" Zhang said. \"Vaccines are the best way to prevent it from happening.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch PBS NewsHour coverage of the effort by Zhang and others to protect Chinatown from COVID-19 spread:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/pHwh748tA7A'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/pHwh748tA7A'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Chinatown CDC \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11816116/chinatown-housing-group-feeds-vulnerable-sro-tenants-by-reviving-legacy-restaurants\">also organized a free cooked-meal program for SRO tenants\u003c/a> so they wouldn't have to gather in their kitchens and risk spreading COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local officials have noticed San Francisco health leadership's hesitance to modify local vaccine priorities for SRO dwellers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It should be up to us to define what a congregate setting is in our city,\" said Supervisor Matt Haney. The need is urgent, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney added, \"If you look at a map, the Tenderloin has the highest case rate over the last 30 days. That's largely because people in this neighborhood live in tighter living environments like SROs that put them at greater risk of exposure.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Aaron Peskin agreed that the city should prioritize vaccinations for SRO residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think SROs are an incredibly obvious example of congregate living,\" Peskin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't care if the state says we can't give them vaccines, DPH needs to do it,\" he said. \"Because of the state's guidance, California has become the equity laughing stock of the nation [in vaccination], it's time for DPH to take this into their own hands.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides, Peskin said, \"What's Gavin Newsom gonna do, call the police?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's David Marks contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Most cell doors aren’t solid, but rather consist of bars that allow air to flow freely. In the main housing block, tier after tier of cells are stacked upon each other with a wide-open atrium stretching from the ground floor to the ceiling several stories above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cells themselves are tiny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Folks are in 4-by-9 cells, double bunks, so there's two people in a very small cell,” Chan said. “In a cell block, there's about 800 people sharing the same air.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To date, more than 70% of San Quentin’s inmates have been infected and 28 have died — the highest death toll at any of the state’s prisons. More than \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/covid19/cdcr-cchcs-covid-19-status/\">400 correctional staff at San Quentin\u003c/a> have also been infected and one has died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But more than architecture contributed to the virus’ spread, said Marin County Deputy Public Defender Christine O’Hanlon, who represents 249 men at San Quentin who sued to be released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We found several what we call 'couplets,' or cell mates, where one of them was positive and the other one tested negative, and they did not separate them. They locked them in the cells together,” O’Hanlon said. “I think the brazen disregard to the concerns of COVID was the thing that shocked me the most.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Hanlon said the conditions of confinement at the prison amount to cruel and unusual punishment — a violation of the Eighth Amendment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11865528\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11865528\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/ohanlon-2_edited-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Marin County Public Defender Christine O'Hanlon\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/ohanlon-2_edited-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/ohanlon-2_edited-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/ohanlon-2_edited-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/ohanlon-2_edited-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/ohanlon-2_edited.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marin County Public Defender Christine O'Hanlon points to boxes and boxes of medical records related to the cases of her clients, 249 men incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison who are suing to be released. \u003ccite>(Jim McKee/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Last October, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20433046-201020-appellate-ruling-von-staich-a160122\">panel of appellate court judges weighed in\u003c/a>, calling what was happening at San Quentin “the worst epidemiological disaster in California correctional history.” They ordered prison officials to reduce San Quentin’s population by a whopping 50% to allow for proper social distancing and quarantining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor and CDCR immediately appealed that order, saying that deciding which prisoners to release is a complex and time-consuming process and that releases could pose a danger to the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, the Office of the Inspector General for prisons (OIG) \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/OIG-COVID-19-Review-Series-Part-3-%E2%80%93-Transfer-of-Patients-from-CIM.pdf\">released a report\u003c/a> further detailing how the inaction of prison officials caused a “public health disaster” at San Quentin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspector general wrote that testing for the virus was inadequate, that sick or potentially infected people were not immediately quarantined and thorough contact tracing was not conducted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The prison’s inability to properly quarantine and isolate incarcerated persons exposed to or infected with COVID-19, along with its practice of allowing staff to work throughout the prison during shifts or on different days, likely caused the virus to spread to multiple areas of the prison,\" the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDCR declined to give an interview but responded to the OIG's report with a statement that said, \"San Quentin State Prison has made many improvements and already remedied several of the citations .... to keep all those who live and work in our state prisons safe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Attorneys for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation\"]'The court failed to give ‘due regard for prison officials’ unenviable task of keeping dangerous men in safe custody under humane conditions.'’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.khsu.org/post/california-supreme-court-sends-san-quentin-covid-19-case-back-appeals-court#stream/0\">California Supreme Court instructed the appellate court\u003c/a> to consider whether an evidentiary hearing should be held in the matter of San Quentin and the months-old order (on pause because of the appeals process) to cut the prisoner population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Feb. 24, as the one-year anniversary of statewide shelter-in-place orders approached, the appellate court decided to move forward with an evidentiary hearing. While the date is still to be determined, it means that the testimony of people — like the formerly incarcerated Chan — will be publicly presented and entered into a public record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Prisons don't provide proper health care to folks,” Chan said. “Prisons are filled with largely large populations of elderly folks and people with preexisting conditions.
