"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.",

"content": "\u003cp>Facing an uproar from conservatives and even calls for a congressional inquiry from a prominent lawmaker, Facebook is going to great lengths to explain how it decides what shows up on its trending news notifications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, the company released a \u003ca href=\"https://fbnewsroomus.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/full-trending-review-guidelines.pdf\">28-page internal document\u003c/a> that details the instructions to the humans who shepherd the \"Trending Topics\" feature. It's the news section that you — and Facebook's 1.6 billion users worldwide — see in the right-hand column of Facebook on desktops or when you do a search on mobile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we now know is that trending topics are driven in part by an algorithm and in part by humans. A \u003ca href=\"http://gizmodo.com/former-facebook-workers-we-routinely-suppressed-conser-1775461006\">Gizmodo article\u003c/a> this week cited anonymous former contractors from the Trending Topics team, saying that human curators sometimes passed up conservative-leaning topics in favor of more liberal ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The release of the internal document represents Facebook's continued pushback against bias allegations. The document was made public for the first time after being shared with \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/may/12/facebook-trending-news-leaked-documents-editor-guidelines\">The Guardian\u003c/a>. As Trending Topics' chief said on Monday, the guidelines do not allow or advise some kind of systematic discrimination against sources with particular ideologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the document shows is how people are involved in the process, sometimes \"injecting\" newsworthy stories and sometimes \"blacklisting\" stories, for example, for not being a \"real-world\" event or for being duplicative. This kind of role of human curators has drawn suggestions that Facebook was becoming more of a publisher — in a traditional sense, like the mainstream news media — than a perfectly neutral \u003cem>platform\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook says it hasn't found any evidence of intentional manipulations of the Trending Topics section to suppress conservative stories, the New York Times reports. The newspaper outlines \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/13/technology/facebook-guidelines-trending-topics.html\">some big takeaways\u003c/a> from the guidelines:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"For instance, after algorithms detect early signs of popular stories on the network, editors are asked to cross-reference potential trending topics with a list of 10 major news publications, including CNN, Fox News, The Guardian and The New York Times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While algorithms determine the exact mix of topics displayed to each person, based on that user's past actions on Facebook, a team of people is largely responsible for the overall mix of which topics should — and more important, should not — be shown in Trending Topics.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The document did not detail the inner workings of the algorithm behind Trending Topics, nor did it touch on the way Facebook determines what posts are deemed worthwhile to show up in someone's News Feed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

It's the news section that you — and Facebook's 1.6 billion users worldwide — see in the right-hand column of Facebook on desktops or when you do a search on mobile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we now know is that trending topics are driven in part by an algorithm and in part by humans. A \u003ca href=\"http://gizmodo.com/former-facebook-workers-we-routinely-suppressed-conser-1775461006\">Gizmodo article\u003c/a> this week cited anonymous former contractors from the Trending Topics team, saying that human curators sometimes passed up conservative-leaning topics in favor of more liberal ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The release of the internal document represents Facebook's continued pushback against bias allegations. The document was made public for the first time after being shared with \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/may/12/facebook-trending-news-leaked-documents-editor-guidelines\">The Guardian\u003c/a>. As Trending Topics' chief said on Monday, the guidelines do not allow or advise some kind of systematic discrimination against sources with particular ideologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the document shows is how people are involved in the process, sometimes \"injecting\" newsworthy stories and sometimes \"blacklisting\" stories, for example, for not being a \"real-world\" event or for being duplicative. This kind of role of human curators has drawn suggestions that Facebook was becoming more of a publisher — in a traditional sense, like the mainstream news media — than a perfectly neutral \u003cem>platform\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>UPDATE: Steve Julian died on April 24, 2016. KPCC published a lovely tribute \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2016/04/24/58999/steve-julian-longtime-voice-of-kpcc-s-morning-edit/\">here\u003c/a>. His wife, Felicia Friesema, wrote on the blog she's been maintaining during his last months, \"He left this world surrounded by love, in the comfort of the home we made together, in his own bed.\" Our hearts go out to Felicia in this time of grief. We trust this story provided some measure of comfort for her when it first went up on April 1, 2016. We hope that others who encounter this story now, after Steve's death, share our profound love and compassion for those who suffer from devastating diseases, as well as those who care for them, all the way through to the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"My experience on social media is that it has always been a connecting fiber. I think that, like anything, you get out of it what you put into it.\" -- Felicia Friesema\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Felicia had seen the signs of brain cancer before. Her husband Steve Julian wasn't just forgetting his keys on the kitchen counter or having another of the myriad brain farts we often associate with middle age. He'd stop in the middle of a sentence, like he'd just hit a brick wall, and that was that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It wasn’t that kind of gradual onset that Alzheimer’s is. It didn’t sound or feel like dementia. This was so sudden -- and it was very eerily similar to what happened to my aunt, my tia Gloria,\" Felicia says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time, it was her husband.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, they've built a cozy life together in a sweet, spacious home overlooking the 110 freeway in Highland Park. She's head of marketing for \u003ca href=\"http://foothilltransit.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Foothill Transit\u003c/a>. Steve Julian is one of a handful of trusted voices helping Angelenos navigate the freeways every day, as morning anchor for KPCC-FM. In his off hours, he writes \u003ca href=\"https://stevejulian.wordpress.com/resume/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plays\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, he was having trouble navigating his way through a sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Technically, all tumors are operable,\" Felicia explains. \"The question that comes into play is: What are you willing to sacrifice in order to get it out? The position and location of his tumor is such that you would have to completely destroy a lot of healthy brain tissue in order to remove it. You would be creating a situation of paralysis, major cognitive dysfunction, irreversible brain damage, and ultimately for possibly very little reward. There’s no way of skirting around it: I was looking at his death.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10916469\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 526px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10916469\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/RS18926_28415_1471890202083_544618_n-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Steve Julian and Felicia Friesema in happier times.\" width=\"526\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/RS18926_28415_1471890202083_544618_n-qut.jpg 526w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/RS18926_28415_1471890202083_544618_n-qut-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steve Julian and Felicia Friesema in happier times. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Felicia Friesema)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Around Thanksgiving last year, Steve was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at the age of 57. They decided not to try to stretch his last months with chemo and radiation therapy. Steve has less time than he might have, but he can eat what he wants, sleep with their dogs, and squeeze the last juice out of the days that remain with Felicia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's taking time off from work, thanks to a compassionate boss. In the 20 or more hours a day that Steve now sleeps, Felicia takes care of everything else: the meals, the housekeeping, the medicine, insurance and the emotional management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, friends and family are helping. Larry Mantle, Steve's dearest pal, comes over for company and a wee dram of whiskey. Friends have delivered dozens of lasagnas to the doorstep and whipped out their credit cards to cover what insurance doesn't. But at the end of the day, Felicia is alone. And every morning, there's a little bit less of Steve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout alignright\">\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http://u.s.kqed.net/2015/09/14/LITDApodcastlogo.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/love-in-the-digital-age/id1037051180?mt=2\">Subscribe in iTunes\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Don't miss an episode of 'Love in the Digital Age'\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003ch3>Reaching Out Online\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It was a few months in when I noticed Felicia's journal on \u003ca href=\"http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/stevejulian/journal/view/id/56f6a61ba689b47372c967f7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Caring Bridge\u003c/a>.

We had to fly down to Los Angeles and meet this woman who wrote so deeply, thoughtfully, and with such compassion, about a journey no one chooses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I know that this is treacherous ground we walk on and that time is of the essence. We wake up to the juxtaposition of joy in another day together and terror at what may come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no detailed prognosis yet. But we do know that there is no outcome we like. And I have never been so scared. But I have also never been so completely full of love for him.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>That was Dec. 2, 2015. At that point, Steve could still help Felicia craft a communique to friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I miss being at work and in the studio. I miss being with all the people I love at KPCC. I’m still good at traffic. We chose UCLA for the surgery and treatment and navigating to the westside can be tricky. The tumor can take away what I had for dinner, but not my memory of the traffic jams I've sat in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am sad. I feel the unfairness of all of this. But I also feel the love for my wife, which grows every day as she balances the technical work of our affairs with the emotional work of our daily life. Like making sure I eat three solid meals. And I mean really solid. Four, sometimes. She tells me I'm loved about a hundred times a day -- I remember a few of them. Larry [Mantle, host of \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/programs/airtalk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Air Talk\u003c/a>], my brother in all but blood, is a rock for both of us and has been by our side from diagnosis until now.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Many people facing down the gun barrel of something this awful retreat into family. But Felicia reached out from the beginning to friends online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We kind of had to,\" she explains. \"We’ve kind of got a unique and peculiar situation. I mean, Steve’s a very popular radio host in a very large market. He’s also incredibly involved in the theater community here. He also used to be a cop. So, you have these seemingly disparate communities that he’s connected to. That’s thousands of people: his most intimate friends all the way down to the casual listener.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the peace and quiet of their home on the hill, when Steve is sleeping, Felicia can write about all the medical details it would be exhausting to repeat to people in one individual conversation after another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Felicia is also using the blog to process what's happening in her world, \"to take this jumbled puzzle piece of post-it notes and ideas and thoughts and put them together into something that is like 'Oh! Okay.' Usually, I don’t know when I’m going to conclude until I start writing, and by the end of it, I’m like, 'Oh, that’s my “aha” moment. Okay. Alright.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Facebook, for a smaller, closer audience, Felicia shares bite-sized missives from her daily journey: proof the bees in the backyard are making \"So. Much. Honey.\"; the desperate wish MRI machines played Brian Eno instead of frightening clicks and buzzing; rage against the insurance company; pride in yet another crazy beautiful meal made for Steve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10916471\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10916471\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/RS18924_12915065_10209620722699730_2121111238_o-qut-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Felicia's not your regular home cook.

KPCC published a lovely tribute \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2016/04/24/58999/steve-julian-longtime-voice-of-kpcc-s-morning-edit/\">here\u003c/a>. His wife, Felicia Friesema, wrote on the blog she's been maintaining during his last months, \"He left this world surrounded by love, in the comfort of the home we made together, in his own bed.\" Our hearts go out to Felicia in this time of grief. We trust this story provided some measure of comfort for her when it first went up on April 1, 2016. We hope that others who encounter this story now, after Steve's death, share our profound love and compassion for those who suffer from devastating diseases, as well as those who care for them, all the way through to the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"My experience on social media is that it has always been a connecting fiber. I think that, like anything, you get out of it what you put into it.\" -- Felicia Friesema\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Felicia had seen the signs of brain cancer before. Her husband Steve Julian wasn't just forgetting his keys on the kitchen counter or having another of the myriad brain farts we often associate with middle age. He'd stop in the middle of a sentence, like he'd just hit a brick wall, and that was that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It wasn’t that kind of gradual onset that Alzheimer’s is. It didn’t sound or feel like dementia. This was so sudden -- and it was very eerily similar to what happened to my aunt, my tia Gloria,\" Felicia says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time, it was her husband.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She's head of marketing for \u003ca href=\"http://foothilltransit.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Foothill Transit\u003c/a>. Steve Julian is one of a handful of trusted voices helping Angelenos navigate the freeways every day, as morning anchor for KPCC-FM.

The position and location of his tumor is such that you would have to completely destroy a lot of healthy brain tissue in order to remove it. You would be creating a situation of paralysis, major cognitive dysfunction, irreversible brain damage, and ultimately for possibly very little reward.

They decided not to try to stretch his last months with chemo and radiation therapy. Steve has less time than he might have, but he can eat what he wants, sleep with their dogs, and squeeze the last juice out of the days that remain with Felicia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's taking time off from work, thanks to a compassionate boss. In the 20 or more hours a day that Steve now sleeps, Felicia takes care of everything else: the meals, the housekeeping, the medicine, insurance and the emotional management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, friends and family are helping. Larry Mantle, Steve's dearest pal, comes over for company and a wee dram of whiskey. Friends have delivered dozens of lasagnas to the doorstep and whipped out their credit cards to cover what insurance doesn't. But at the end of the day, Felicia is alone. And every morning, there's a little bit less of Steve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout alignright\">\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http://u.s.kqed.net/2015/09/14/LITDApodcastlogo.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/love-in-the-digital-age/id1037051180?mt=2\">Subscribe in iTunes\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Don't miss an episode of 'Love in the Digital Age'\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003ch3>Reaching Out Online\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It was a few months in when I noticed Felicia's journal on \u003ca href=\"http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/stevejulian/journal/view/id/56f6a61ba689b47372c967f7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Caring Bridge\u003c/a>.

We had to fly down to Los Angeles and meet this woman who wrote so deeply, thoughtfully, and with such compassion, about a journey no one chooses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I know that this is treacherous ground we walk on and that time is of the essence. We wake up to the juxtaposition of joy in another day together and terror at what may come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no detailed prognosis yet. But we do know that there is no outcome we like. And I have never been so scared. But I have also never been so completely full of love for him.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>That was Dec. 2, 2015. At that point, Steve could still help Felicia craft a communique to friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I miss being at work and in the studio. I miss being with all the people I love at KPCC. I’m still good at traffic. We chose UCLA for the surgery and treatment and navigating to the westside can be tricky. The tumor can take away what I had for dinner, but not my memory of the traffic jams I've sat in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am sad. I feel the unfairness of all of this. But I also feel the love for my wife, which grows every day as she balances the technical work of our affairs with the emotional work of our daily life. Like making sure I eat three solid meals. And I mean really solid. Four, sometimes. She tells me I'm loved about a hundred times a day -- I remember a few of them. Larry [Mantle, host of \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/programs/airtalk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Air Talk\u003c/a>], my brother in all but blood, is a rock for both of us and has been by our side from diagnosis until now.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Many people facing down the gun barrel of something this awful retreat into family. But Felicia reached out from the beginning to friends online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We kind of had to,\" she explains. \"We’ve kind of got a unique and peculiar situation. I mean, Steve’s a very popular radio host in a very large market. He’s also incredibly involved in the theater community here. He also used to be a cop. So, you have these seemingly disparate communities that he’s connected to. That’s thousands of people: his most intimate friends all the way down to the casual listener.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the peace and quiet of their home on the hill, when Steve is sleeping, Felicia can write about all the medical details it would be exhausting to repeat to people in one individual conversation after another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Felicia is also using the blog to process what's happening in her world, \"to take this jumbled puzzle piece of post-it notes and ideas and thoughts and put them together into something that is like 'Oh! Okay.' Usually, I don’t know when I’m going to conclude until I start writing, and by the end of it, I’m like, 'Oh, that’s my “aha” moment. Okay. Alright.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Facebook, for a smaller, closer audience, Felicia shares bite-sized missives from her daily journey: proof the bees in the backyard are making \"So. Much. Honey.\"; the desperate wish MRI machines played Brian Eno instead of frightening clicks and buzzing; rage against the insurance company; pride in yet another crazy beautiful meal made for Steve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10916471\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10916471\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/RS18924_12915065_10209620722699730_2121111238_o-qut-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Felicia's not your regular home cook.
