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>The Board's now in session as a committee of the whole to consider appointing an interim mayor. As we said earlier, this is supposed to be a done deal—we're supposed to come out of the process today with city Chief Administrative Officer Ed Lee as the interim mayor. But this is the San Francisco Board of Supervisors—it just got done listening to a warning from an Old Testament-style zealot that the end of the world is nigh—so stay tuned. (And to see the board's decision-making process in visual form, see the graphic put together by our colleague Lisa Pickoff-White: \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/01/11/the-sf-supes-quest-for-an-interim-mayor/\" target=\"_blank\">The SF Supes Quest for an Interim Mayor\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5:20 p.m.:\u003c/strong> A final outsider's thought before we post the speech audio and get out of here for the night: Ed Lee says he's in the job for a year and that will be it. Don't depend on it. A year will be long enough for him to get a start, to build on the support he already has, and maybe realize he likes Room 200, the mayor's office (he says he'll have it open to the citizens every day, by the way). And if he decides to run for a full term after all, he'll be running as an incumbent. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5:15 p.m.: \u003c/strong>We had to take a break to deal with newscast duties. Listening to the speech he gave in the rotunda after the swearing in, there's lots of boilerplate. But the man is dead serious about his credentials and his ability to move beyond political divisions. Here's the piece of the talk we think you'll see everywhere: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"With all due respect to the young talent of many young leaders with whom I now share this responsibility, I was a progressive before \"progressive\" was a political faction in this town. [Applause.] Years ago, I fought the establishment to make the city function better, to make our communities more inclusive. I fought for justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I left Boalt Hall and joined the Asian Law Caucus, I fought to integrate the San Francisco Fire Department. I fought to protect the rights of blacks and Latinos and gays and lesbians and other marginalized groups. I fought for tenants, I fought for senior citizens, I fought to empower the powerless. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I joined the city I established the city's first whistleblower program. I made sure our domestic-partners and women-and-minority-owned business ordinances were successful. I helped establish our recycling program, now the nation's most successful. I ensured equal access to government services for all our citizens, including our immigrants, documented and undocumented. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In other words, I am my own person.\"\n \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4:12 p.m.: \u003c/strong>Lee takes the oath. He's mayor! Brown says, \"Mr. Mayor!\" and shakes his hand. Newsom gives him a hug. In the background, Rose Pak, the Chinese American political heavyweight, shouts, \"We did it!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4:09 p.m.:\u003c/strong> Board of Supes President David Chiu confirms the 11-0 vote, then he gets a chance to note further the historic nature of the occasion for Chinese Americans and Asian Americans. \"This is about the American dream. The idea that anyone from any background ... can come here and someday be here at the top of the community is what it's about.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n4:06 p.m.:\u003c/strong> Brown's back at the mike, noting the presence of former mayors and/or their family members and of a host of other dignitaries.

As we said earlier, this is supposed to be a done deal—we're supposed to come out of the process today with city Chief Administrative Officer Ed Lee as the interim mayor. But this is the San Francisco Board of Supervisors—it just got done listening to a warning from an Old Testament-style zealot that the end of the world is nigh—so stay tuned. (And to see the board's decision-making process in visual form, see the graphic put together by our colleague Lisa Pickoff-White: \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/01/11/the-sf-supes-quest-for-an-interim-mayor/\" target=\"_blank\">The SF Supes Quest for an Interim Mayor\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5:20 p.m.:\u003c/strong> A final outsider's thought before we post the speech audio and get out of here for the night: Ed Lee says he's in the job for a year and that will be it. Don't depend on it. A year will be long enough for him to get a start, to build on the support he already has, and maybe realize he likes Room 200, the mayor's office (he says he'll have it open to the citizens every day, by the way). And if he decides to run for a full term after all, he'll be running as an incumbent. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5:15 p.m.: \u003c/strong>We had to take a break to deal with newscast duties. Listening to the speech he gave in the rotunda after the swearing in, there's lots of boilerplate. But the man is dead serious about his credentials and his ability to move beyond political divisions. Here's the piece of the talk we think you'll see everywhere: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"With all due respect to the young talent of many young leaders with whom I now share this responsibility, I was a progressive before \"progressive\" was a political faction in this town. [Applause.] Years ago, I fought the establishment to make the city function better, to make our communities more inclusive. I fought for justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I left Boalt Hall and joined the Asian Law Caucus, I fought to integrate the San Francisco Fire Department. I fought to protect the rights of blacks and Latinos and gays and lesbians and other marginalized groups. I fought for tenants, I fought for senior citizens, I fought to empower the powerless. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I joined the city I established the city's first whistleblower program. I made sure our domestic-partners and women-and-minority-owned business ordinances were successful. I helped establish our recycling program, now the nation's most successful. I ensured equal access to government services for all our citizens, including our immigrants, documented and undocumented. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In other words, I am my own person.\"\n \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4:12 p.m.: \u003c/strong>Lee takes the oath. He's mayor! Brown says, \"Mr. Mayor!\" and shakes his hand. Newsom gives him a hug. In the background, Rose Pak, the Chinese American political heavyweight, shouts, \"We did it!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4:09 p.m.:\u003c/strong> Board of Supes President David Chiu confirms the 11-0 vote, then he gets a chance to note further the historic nature of the occasion for Chinese Americans and Asian Americans. \"This is about the American dream. The idea that anyone from any background ... can come here and someday be here at the top of the community is what it's about.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/politics/story/behind-scenes-power-politics-making-ed/\">inside look\u003c/a> at how the process unfolded by the Bay Citizen today says the following: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"... the contenders — Sheriff Michael Hennessey, former Mayor Art Agnos and Aaron Peskin, the chairman of the city’s Democratic Party — were deemed too liberal by Pak, Brown and Newsom, who are more moderate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3:58 p.m. Here comes The Daly Show. To wit: \"Go along to get along\" isn't a good thing. He cites his words from Tuesday. \"Something is not right, not just with process,\" but in, I quote: \"The world.\" If Lee surprises Daly, then he'll apologize. But in Lee, all Daly sees is status quote. As \"candidate Obama said, we need change...what we have in front of us will not address fundamental injustices in SF.\" He's a no vote. But I wonder: Ed Lee will just be an interim mayor, no? Would even a dyed-in-the-wool progressive interim be able to galvanzie any change in business as usual?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3:54 p.m. Eric Mar's up.

Looks like it's going to be a landslide. 10-1? A vote against Lee would be something \"setting us way back.\" Like Campos, he has questions about process. Doesn't like Newsom's delaying his Lt Guv swearing-in in order to influence the process for interim mayor.

He's going to vote for Lee. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3:40 p.m. David Campos now speaking. Talking about nomination for Hennessey, which failed. Says Hennessey didn't deserve treatment he received, accepted nomination only after hearing from peopel allied with Newsom and Newsom himself. Says he's been open to Lee serving in role of interim mayor. Campos says he's spoken to Le twice now. Doesn't like the process that's taken shape. At end of day, he's \"very disappointed\" in process and way votes have shifted, the real question is \"Can Ed Lee do this job?\" Yes, Campos says. He's no \"lightweight,\" as Aaron Peskin said in a press report. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3:38 p.m. Rose Pak is there, apparently. Daly says if nominations were opened up again, he'd \"go ahead and nominate Rose Pak.\" That's an allusion to Pak's behind-the-scenes role, along with Willie Brown, in getting Lee to this point. He's really going after her now. Daly said same thing to \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/blogs/under-dome/2011/01/daly-why-not-just-make-pak-mayor\">Examiner\u003c/a> today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3:35 p.m. \"If (he) ends up being appointed successor mayor,\" for the 12 months following that term, he cannot have full-time employment from the city and county of San Francisco\" after. That's the whole issue of Lee wanting an exemption from being excluded from taking over his old job as City Administrator. Talk is they are going to change that law to accomodate Lee's candidacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3:33 p.m. Daly cites this \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/politics/story/newsoms-dual-role-raises-legal-quandary/\">Bay Citizen article\u003c/a>: \"Newsom's Dual Role Raises Legal Quandary.\" Says Bay Citizen's \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/politics/story/behind-scenes-power-politics-making-ed/\">piece\u003c/a> today delving into how Lee got made as the candidate was \"best piece of journalism\" he's seen in city in a long time. (It was an excellent piece.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3:30 p.m. Now Daly's embroiled in a complicated conversation about conflict-of-interest rules with an attorney whose name and position I didn't catch. Not sure who she represents. Daly says he's \"exhausted himself\" on this point. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3:25 p.m. Daly asks why Dufty is not conflicted out of this vote as he is running for mayor. Cites example of Dennis Herrera, City Attorney, who recused himself from consulting on interim mayor decision. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3:23 p.m. \u003ca href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/mlnow\">Mission Local\u003c/a> is tweeting the meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3:22 p.m. Eric Mar says he was \"deeply troubled\" with breakdown of civlity at last meeting. Votes to re-open nominations. Dufty says no. Mar is aye. Maxwell is no. Mirkarimi aye. Alioto-Pier no. Avalos no. Campos aye. Five ayes, six nos, Daly loses that one. He will not be able to submit a new name for nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3:18 p.m. They're going over what happened at Tuesday's meeting and whose in nomination tonight. Peskin, Lee, Hennessey. Peskin said he didn't want it, so Daly is asked to withdraw Peskin nomination. Daly does. Asks if he can open new nomination. Makes motion to re-open nomination given that his candidate declined. He needs a majority vote. \u003c/p>\n\n",

"info": "For decades, the process for how police police themselves has been inconsistent – if not opaque. In some states, like California, these proceedings were completely hidden. After a new police transparency law unsealed scores of internal affairs files, our reporters set out to examine these cases and the shadow world of police discipline. On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
