Gavin Newsom has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11812296/newsoms-roadmap-to-guide-california-out-of-isolation\">released a roadmap\u003c/a> on how he plans to eventually unwind the restrictions California has enacted to slow the spread of the coronavirus, here at KQED we’re thinking about what that means for our journalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we start to consider loosening up some of our reporting and travel restrictions for the newsroom, we wanted to explain what our thinking and guidelines have been during this critical time. To do that, we put some questions to KQED News Executive Editor Ethan Toven-Lindsey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Q: We’ve been sheltering in place for about a month now. Thinking back to before we realized just how infectious this virus is, when do you feel things shifted to this level of worry?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: I feel like some of the folks in the KQED newsroom, and in the larger local and national media, knew what was really happening for weeks and months. Alexis Madrigal, an Oakland resident who works for The Atlantic and has been heading \u003ca href=\"https://covidtracking.com/\">the COVID Tracking Project\u003c/a>, was talking about how bad things were going to get relatively early on, and the rest of us kept getting signals, but couldn’t separate them from the noise. Looking back now, I feel like some of our KQED Science colleagues, such as science reporter Lesley McClurg, were sounding key warning bells, but none of us were ready for the massive mental and logistical shift we were about to encounter. Still, at KQED we’d started planning remote production work shifts and essential staff rotations in early March, but with the thinking that those efforts were worst-case scenario planning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, trying to think back, it feels like it was Wednesday, March 11 when the rest of us became believers. It was that day, with the stock market reacting the way it did, combined with the president’s Oval Office address, that confirmed our fears. The next day, we held a KQED editorial meeting and decided we needed to reframe how we were covering the crisis, and how we were staffing it. That Wednesday was probably the day when everyone in the newsroom became a coronavirus reporter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Q: Some people are saying this is going to change everything, or accelerate what already exists in the world. How do you and your newsroom think about that possibility and all that uncertainty? How do you do journalism in a moment when everything is different?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: It does feel like everything is changing so fast, doesn’t it? But I think the news industry has been preparing for this moment for a generation. Our reporters and editors have been covering the shifting landscape of the Bay Area, and beyond, for years ... I do think that we had to challenge our assumptions and training and muscle memory during and after the 2016 election.

After our wildfire reporting, we worked with several organizations to explore and rethink how we cover trauma and traumatic events. And according to some research we’ve heard, journalists are actually people who are more able to process and deal with traumatic events. I think that’s true at KQED especially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, I think because of our public media mission, and our knowledge that our business is built on a nonprofit membership model, our reporters and editors have always seen themselves as advocates for and members of the broader community. Our journalism has always been centered with people — our region, our community — in mind, and so being willing and able to change the way we do things when our community demands it, is simply part of our DNA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItvSVQ6A9zE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Q: How do you guide editors and reporters on how to avoid exposure while also getting their stories done? Will that change going forward?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: The safety and security of everyone at KQED is always central in our minds. Radio reporters, for eons — well, at least since I started cutting tape in the late 1990s with razor blades — have despised \"phone tape.\" That is an interview with someone recorded over a telephone line, as opposed to in person. For one thing, it reveals that the reporter didn’t sit down and look the interviewee in their eyes when asking the questions. But it also sounds weaker and less clear than in-person audio recordings. And because of that, editors and radio newsroom leaders have always preached that reporters don’t just get phone tape\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, our reporters are expected to get phone tape. I do not believe our reporters should be going out into the field for interviews that they could be recording over a phone ... for their safety, for the safety of the person they are interviewing ... and for our collective public health. They could be the vector that spreads this thing, and so relying on phone tape is now a good thing. Plus, there is now technology that can allow an interview via phone to be recorded in better quality audio, and then uploaded to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those technological changes are also allowing our hosts and anchors to produce and broadcast the news, and Forum and our other shows from their own homes. Most of the hosts and anchors you hear now on KQED are broadcasting from home. There is a “last mile” of audio production that needs to occur in our offices, but we are making every attempt to keep that staffing to a bare minimum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/mlagos/status/1240799803841241088\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, we will be trying to follow any governmental and medical advice as we change our reporting advice and guidelines in the future. You may start to hear and see our reporters in the field again, but when you do, know that we’ll only have made those decisions with the sober reality of the best standards from medical and public health professionals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q: What about photos and television? Are things any different for photographers and video producers?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: As we've reported on, regional and state authorities deemed media and KQED as an \"essential service.\" As a mission-driven news team, we are deeply committed to serving our community and providing the Bay Area with information and inspiration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What that means is while we have to make difficult decisions to limit the ability of reporters to go out into the field, we are also making difficult decisions to identify ways to produce and capture visuals and video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, the producers, journalists and staff of our weekly TV show \"KQED Newsroom\" have restructured the format and logistics of the production of the show, but the technical challenges of a studio show do require some sort of physical presence. Because of that, we have reduced but not eliminated the number of folks reporting on set on Friday, but are following social distancing and PPE (personal protective equipment) guidelines. Our producers are also going out into the field to collect and record footage for the show, but doing it in a safe and healthy way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally, our photo intern \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/blaberge\">Beth LaBerge\u003c/a>, who shoots many of the photographs in our digital and written stories, is a critical member of the news team. We've worked closely with her to do it in a safe fashion, but she continues to photograph from the field for important stories on a case-by-case basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11808986 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42279_010_KQED_Oakland_CoronavirusHomelessRelief_03252020_0033-qut-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the crisis, she has photographed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11810376/nurses-at-daly-city-coronavirus-hospital-sound-alarm-over-shortage-of-n95-masks-medical-supplies\">nurses\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11809643/the-many-challenges-of-being-an-essential-service-worker-in-a-pandemic\">gig workers\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11809502/photos-gov-newsom-and-san-jose-mayor-sam-liccardo-tour-ventilator-refurbishing-site\">Gov.

What’s different this time?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: Reporters are now working from home with their kids and their partners. Editors are now being asked to assign and work on stories about how their own lives will be forever altered.

The work and the response to this pandemic may not apply to any future disasters. And the lessons we are learning right now still feel too new and fresh to even put into words.

Gavin Newsom has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11812296/newsoms-roadmap-to-guide-california-out-of-isolation\">released a roadmap\u003c/a> on how he plans to eventually unwind the restrictions California has enacted to slow the spread of the coronavirus, here at KQED we’re thinking about what that means for our journalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we start to consider loosening up some of our reporting and travel restrictions for the newsroom, we wanted to explain what our thinking and guidelines have been during this critical time. To do that, we put some questions to KQED News Executive Editor Ethan Toven-Lindsey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Q: We’ve been sheltering in place for about a month now. Thinking back to before we realized just how infectious this virus is, when do you feel things shifted to this level of worry?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: I feel like some of the folks in the KQED newsroom, and in the larger local and national media, knew what was really happening for weeks and months. Alexis Madrigal, an Oakland resident who works for The Atlantic and has been heading \u003ca href=\"https://covidtracking.com/\">the COVID Tracking Project\u003c/a>, was talking about how bad things were going to get relatively early on, and the rest of us kept getting signals, but couldn’t separate them from the noise. Looking back now, I feel like some of our KQED Science colleagues, such as science reporter Lesley McClurg, were sounding key warning bells, but none of us were ready for the massive mental and logistical shift we were about to encounter. Still, at KQED we’d started planning remote production work shifts and essential staff rotations in early March, but with the thinking that those efforts were worst-case scenario planning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, trying to think back, it feels like it was Wednesday, March 11 when the rest of us became believers. It was that day, with the stock market reacting the way it did, combined with the president’s Oval Office address, that confirmed our fears. The next day, we held a KQED editorial meeting and decided we needed to reframe how we were covering the crisis, and how we were staffing it. That Wednesday was probably the day when everyone in the newsroom became a coronavirus reporter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So in her time editing for KQED, she’d sometimes make time to do pieces like one on \u003ca href=\"//www.kqed.org/news/11513197/its-really-big-and-really-stinks-but-people-cant-wait-to-see-s-f-s-corpse-flower%E2%80%9D\" target=\"”_blank”\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the blooming of a corpse flower\u003c/a> at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers or on the challenges a group of local entrepreneurs faced \u003ca href=\"//www.kqed.org/news/11680221/the-female-orgasm-comes-quietly-to-the-streets-of-san-francisco%E2%80%9D\" target=\"”_blank”\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">marketing a smart vibrator\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no prouder parent than Sidney Price,” the corpse flower story began. “On Monday morning, he savored a private visit with his ‘baby’ at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ ‘I always thought she'd be an early bloomer,’ said Price, as he gazed at Terra the Titan, a 9-year-old corpse flower poised to unleash an overpowering stench that has been compared to decaying animal flesh, filthy socks, rotting garbage and human feces.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even knowing how enthusiastically she embraced the unusual, it’s surprising to dig through Pat’s earliest stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The very first piece I can find carrying her byline is from the summer of 1975 for the San Francisco Examiner’s old Sunday magazine, California Living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The story tells the tale of a young woman named Magi (pronounced Maggie), recently hired as a barker for one of the North Beach strip clubs. Pat hung out for an afternoon with the new barker, whose job was to entice (or badger) male passersby to come see the show inside. Business was depressingly slow: The few people strolling down Broadway weren’t interested in Magi’s spiel. And then this happened:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“A short bespectacled white-haired man is approaching at a brisk pace, puffing on a cigar. He breezes past Magi’s pitch, and has almost reached the end of the block when Magi, still persevering, shouts, “Let me show you something really disgusting.” It works. His head whirls around. “Disgusting!” he yelps hopefully in a heavy German accent, and marches back to investigate. He’s on his way once again within a few minutes, but the encounter has revived Magi’s good humor.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>I laughed out loud at the line, “Let me show you something really disgusting.” It’s so unexpected, so funny and so Pat. And it’s a little astounding to me to see her, at age 24, showing such a refined eye for the detail that would make the story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where did she pick up the affinity for the strange and the knack for conveying it to readers? Pat didn’t talk much about her formative years — spent in and around Philadelphia. After she fell ill, I told her once I’d like to ask her about her family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Why?” she demanded, as if she knew what I might be up to. I let it drop. But maybe her past holds a few clues to her fundamental enthusiasm for life and her willingness to embrace and learn from whoever and whatever she encountered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]P[/dropcap]atricia Leah Yollin was born Aug. 17, 1950, in Abington, Pennsylvania, just outside Philadelphia, the only child of Charles Yollin and Veronica Rita Dugan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pat’s father was Jewish, a native of Kiev, Ukraine, whose family emigrated to Pennsylvania during the last years of Czar Nicholas II’s reign. Charlie Yollin left high school after one year and worked as a salesman and electrician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her mother, the daughter of Irish Catholic immigrants, was born at home in the town of Bristol, just up the Delaware River from Philadelphia. If census records are to be believed, she also dropped out of high school and worked for years as a stenographer at a local Elks Club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of that sounds way out there, but of course there’s a lot more to the story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charlie Yollin was 46 and had two sons from his previous marriage — they were already in their 20s — when Pat came along. Veronica had apparently lived at home into her 30s before marrying Charles. She was 42 when Pat was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friends say Pat spoke seldom about her upbringing, but a couple of details stick out. Pat described her mother poring over the Daily Racing Form, the horse players’ bible, as she sipped Schmidt's beer. Veronica, whom Pat described to some as “a hard-drinking, hard-smoking, hard-gambling woman,” would sometimes take her daughter along on her outings to the track.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her father? My eye is drawn to one particular about him. In the early ‘50s, soon after Pat was born, Charles advertised for a business he had started — raising minks — at the family’s home in the outlying Philadelphia suburb of Ambler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Attention Mink Rancher,” the ads were headlined. “We are looking for live stock. If you have 300 minks or less and would like to sell out before pelting season, call or write. …”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charlie turned the family’s backyard into a mink farm. Pat said the animals were remarkable for their viciousness and stink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside Pat’s household, there was serious trouble in the extended Yollin family. One of her much older half-brothers, Louis Yollin, had been placed in a Philadelphia psychiatric hospital after committing a series of crimes in the late 1940s. In one case, he had stolen a collection of replica diamonds and other gems from a museum in the city and been arrested after trying to sell them to tourists on the Atlantic City boardwalk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Louis went on to a more sensational crime in 1952, when he was 28. Allowed to leave the psychiatric facility to visit his mother, he got his hands on a .25-caliber pistol and 50 rounds of ammunition and made his way back to Atlantic City. He held up a cab driver, who took him on a long drive to another town. There, Louis opened fire on random strangers, wounding three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An Associated Press story carried by papers across the country the next day quoted Louis as telling arresting officers that he simply had “an urge to kill.” He was committed to a facility for the criminally insane, where he spent the next 16 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Did the case’s notoriety and the fate of Pat’s half-brother affect life in the Yollin household? I don’t know. But one other traumatic episode did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One evening when she was six, Pat was eating nuts. One got stuck in her throat. She told her parents, who didn’t believe her and sent her to bed. The next morning, the pain was worse and Pat complained again. This time, her parents took her to a doctor, who told them Pat needed an emergency tracheotomy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She remembered the date of that operation, Oct. 21, for the rest of her life. And after she fell ill last fall, she said she experienced the first symptoms of her cancer on Oct. 21, 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]P[/dropcap]at went on to be the woman and journalist she became because of her own innate intelligence and curiosity. But she also got a hand from her Aunt Katie, Veronica Dugan’s older sister.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Catherine Dugan, who was unmarried and had no children, paid for Pat to attend Catholic schools from the first grade on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pat said later her aunt’s generosity was not entirely selfless. Katie, a Catholic, also wanted to “counteract” the influence of Charles Yollin, who was Jewish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pat finished her schooling at Gwynedd Mercy High School, a highly regarded all-girls school in the Philadelphia suburbs. From there, Pat went on to Northwestern University, graduating with a bachelor’s in politics and government in 1972. She attended UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism and earned her master’s in 1976.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She worked for the Hayward Daily Review from 1978 through early 1983. With a bent for feature reporting, she also proved adept at breaking news coverage. Among the stories she reported was the 1982 retrial of Sacramento Valley serial killer Juan Corona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That coverage brought her to the attention of Jim Wood, a reporter at the San Francisco Examiner also assigned to the retrial. Wood persuaded his editors to hire Pat, and she joined the Examiner in 1983.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11804304\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11804304\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/patyollin2-800x601.jpg\" alt=\"Hippos had a special place in Patricia Yollin's heart.

The late KQED editor, who died Feb. 22 in Berkeley, had a collection of 200 hippopotamus figures, statuettes and stuffed animals. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Paul Chinn)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the next 26 years — first for the Ex and later for the San Francisco Chronicle — Pat covered an extraordinary variety of stories and filled many different newsroom roles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From 1983 through 1987, she covered transportation issues for the Examiner and took over writing the paper’s “Phantom Commuter” column.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Pat's hands, the Phantom was a feature that combined her sense of fun with her interest in providing a useful reader service. She would ride transit in the Bay Area and well beyond and report the good, the bad and the ugly she encountered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every bus and train ride she wrote about was memorable. Here’s her impression of one Muni line, the 27-Bryant, that readers had told her was beset by interminable delays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The caped commuter finished her round trip an hour and 35 minutes later, struck by two things: The 27-Bryant makes more turns than bumper cars manned by hyperactive children, and the rather nondescript route provides one of the most spectacular views in the city when it reaches 30th and Castro Street at the end of the line.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Later, she wrote a two-part report on how the region’s transit services were serving people with disabilities. The story featured a Berkeley woman who struggled to ride transit in her wheelchair. The twist: In doing the piece, Pat rode in a wheelchair, too. Her description of boarding one bus:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The Phantom enjoyed a flawless lift ride, but then struggled to negotiate a tight right turn past the driver. She had never given much thought to the considerable difficulties of backing down the narrow front of a crowded bus while attempting to slalom between old people’s feet.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Her coverage made enough of an impression that Pat was invited in July 1984 to participate in a KQED-TV show, “Damn This Traffic Jam,” that focused on the Bay Area’s seemingly intractable transportation problems. (Sound familiar?). Here’s the segment, in which Pat appeared in full Phantom disguise: a cape, a floppy hat and a mask that left only her eyes uncovered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tagSlECrhKs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later in her career, Pat was part of an Examiner team that produced a wide-ranging, 16-day series on the lives of gay and lesbian people in the United States. For the Chronicle, she produced a series on the many issues facing organ transplant recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among topics she returned to repeatedly: zoos. She loved the animals, was concerned about their welfare and was fascinated by how people interact with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"//www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Penguin-frenzy-over-Birds-back-where-they-2665415.php%E2%80%9D\" target=\"”_blank”\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a 2003 piece\u003c/a> detailing boisterous mating behavior among Magellanic penguins at the San Francisco Zoo, she quoted the birds’ keeper, Jane Tollini: “For me, it's heaven. It's a pleasant time right now. A whole month of foreplay — what's more pleasant than that?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a Siberian tiger fatally mauled a visitor to the zoo and injured two others on Christmas Day 2007, Pat and colleagues at the Chronicle \u003ca href=\"//www.sfgate.com/news/article/S-F-Zoo-visitor-saw-2-victims-of-tiger-attack-3233323.php%E2%80%9D\" target=\"”_blank”\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">broke the story\u003c/a> revealing the victims had taunted the animal before it escaped its enclosure and attacked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]O[/dropcap]ne last chapter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pat took a buyout from the Chronicle in 2009. She had little trouble finding freelance work, and did stories for UC Berkeley’s California Magazine and UCSF. She began work as a part-time editor for KQED in 2013, an arrangement that quickly became permanent. Her major contribution to the organization, to her coworkers and to our readers was to improve everything she laid her hands on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among her colleagues, Pat was known as a very clear-headed and constructive editor who treated reporters with respect and criticized their work with a level of tact that was well-beyond the abilities of most of us in the news business. Put another way, she could point out your shortcomings — even mistakes that were galling and nettlesome — in a way that made the point but didn’t make people feel stupid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond all that, Pat was generous with her coaching and encouragement. She was instrumental in setting up and continuing San Francisco State's Raul Ramirez Diversity in Journalism Fund, a scholarship created in honor of KQED's late executive director of news and public affairs. Advocating for the fund was a reflection of her commitment to opening our profession to voices that have been shut out in the past. Pat also took a personal interest in the success of the students who have come to work at KQED as part of the scholarship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyche Hendricks, a colleague at KQED who was among the hundreds of people who responded to \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pfc1960/posts/10218472000665805\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a Facebook post\u003c/a> announcing Pat’s passing this past week, summed her up this way: “Her intelligence, curiosity, beautiful prose, journalistic instincts and ethics, her amazing ability to tell a story, her humor and pithy insights, her sense of justice, her quiet leadership … are irreplaceable and will be terribly missed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides her husband and partner Paul Chinn, Patricia Yollin is survived by two nieces — Jennifer Yollin of San Francisco and Julie Yollin Berk of London — and a nephew, Guy Yollin of Seattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

She was 42 when Pat was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friends say Pat spoke seldom about her upbringing, but a couple of details stick out. Pat described her mother poring over the Daily Racing Form, the horse players’ bible, as she sipped Schmidt's beer. Veronica, whom Pat described to some as “a hard-drinking, hard-smoking, hard-gambling woman,” would sometimes take her daughter along on her outings to the track.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her father? My eye is drawn to one particular about him. In the early ‘50s, soon after Pat was born, Charles advertised for a business he had started — raising minks — at the family’s home in the outlying Philadelphia suburb of Ambler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Attention Mink Rancher,” the ads were headlined. “We are looking for live stock.

Pat said the animals were remarkable for their viciousness and stink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside Pat’s household, there was serious trouble in the extended Yollin family. One of her much older half-brothers, Louis Yollin, had been placed in a Philadelphia psychiatric hospital after committing a series of crimes in the late 1940s. In one case, he had stolen a collection of replica diamonds and other gems from a museum in the city and been arrested after trying to sell them to tourists on the Atlantic City boardwalk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Louis went on to a more sensational crime in 1952, when he was 28. Allowed to leave the psychiatric facility to visit his mother, he got his hands on a .25-caliber pistol and 50 rounds of ammunition and made his way back to Atlantic City. He held up a cab driver, who took him on a long drive to another town. There, Louis opened fire on random strangers, wounding three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An Associated Press story carried by papers across the country the next day quoted Louis as telling arresting officers that he simply had “an urge to kill.” He was committed to a facility for the criminally insane, where he spent the next 16 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Did the case’s notoriety and the fate of Pat’s half-brother affect life in the Yollin household? I don’t know. But one other traumatic episode did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One evening when she was six, Pat was eating nuts. One got stuck in her throat. She told her parents, who didn’t believe her and sent her to bed. The next morning, the pain was worse and Pat complained again. This time, her parents took her to a doctor, who told them Pat needed an emergency tracheotomy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She remembered the date of that operation, Oct. 21, for the rest of her life. And after she fell ill last fall, she said she experienced the first symptoms of her cancer on Oct. 21, 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">P\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>at went on to be the woman and journalist she became because of her own innate intelligence and curiosity.

Katie, a Catholic, also wanted to “counteract” the influence of Charles Yollin, who was Jewish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pat finished her schooling at Gwynedd Mercy High School, a highly regarded all-girls school in the Philadelphia suburbs. From there, Pat went on to Northwestern University, graduating with a bachelor’s in politics and government in 1972. She attended UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism and earned her master’s in 1976.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She worked for the Hayward Daily Review from 1978 through early 1983. With a bent for feature reporting, she also proved adept at breaking news coverage. Among the stories she reported was the 1982 retrial of Sacramento Valley serial killer Juan Corona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That coverage brought her to the attention of Jim Wood, a reporter at the San Francisco Examiner also assigned to the retrial. Wood persuaded his editors to hire Pat, and she joined the Examiner in 1983.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11804304\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11804304\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/patyollin2-800x601.jpg\" alt=\"Hippos had a special place in Patricia Yollin's heart.

She would ride transit in the Bay Area and well beyond and report the good, the bad and the ugly she encountered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every bus and train ride she wrote about was memorable. Here’s her impression of one Muni line, the 27-Bryant, that readers had told her was beset by interminable delays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The caped commuter finished her round trip an hour and 35 minutes later, struck by two things: The 27-Bryant makes more turns than bumper cars manned by hyperactive children, and the rather nondescript route provides one of the most spectacular views in the city when it reaches 30th and Castro Street at the end of the line.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Later, she wrote a two-part report on how the region’s transit services were serving people with disabilities. The story featured a Berkeley woman who struggled to ride transit in her wheelchair. The twist: In doing the piece, Pat rode in a wheelchair, too. Her description of boarding one bus:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The Phantom enjoyed a flawless lift ride, but then struggled to negotiate a tight right turn past the driver. She had never given much thought to the considerable difficulties of backing down the narrow front of a crowded bus while attempting to slalom between old people’s feet.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Her coverage made enough of an impression that Pat was invited in July 1984 to participate in a KQED-TV show, “Damn This Traffic Jam,” that focused on the Bay Area’s seemingly intractable transportation problems. (Sound familiar?). Here’s the segment, in which Pat appeared in full Phantom disguise: a cape, a floppy hat and a mask that left only her eyes uncovered.\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/tagSlECrhKs'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/tagSlECrhKs'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Later in her career, Pat was part of an Examiner team that produced a wide-ranging, 16-day series on the lives of gay and lesbian people in the United States. For the Chronicle, she produced a series on the many issues facing organ transplant recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among topics she returned to repeatedly: zoos. She loved the animals, was concerned about their welfare and was fascinated by how people interact with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"//www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Penguin-frenzy-over-Birds-back-where-they-2665415.php%E2%80%9D\" target=\"”_blank”\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a 2003 piece\u003c/a> detailing boisterous mating behavior among Magellanic penguins at the San Francisco Zoo, she quoted the birds’ keeper, Jane Tollini: “For me, it's heaven. It's a pleasant time right now. A whole month of foreplay — what's more pleasant than that?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a Siberian tiger fatally mauled a visitor to the zoo and injured two others on Christmas Day 2007, Pat and colleagues at the Chronicle \u003ca href=\"//www.sfgate.com/news/article/S-F-Zoo-visitor-saw-2-victims-of-tiger-attack-3233323.php%E2%80%9D\" target=\"”_blank”\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">broke the story\u003c/a> revealing the victims had taunted the animal before it escaped its enclosure and attacked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">O\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>ne last chapter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pat took a buyout from the Chronicle in 2009. She had little trouble finding freelance work, and did stories for UC Berkeley’s California Magazine and UCSF. She began work as a part-time editor for KQED in 2013, an arrangement that quickly became permanent. Her major contribution to the organization, to her coworkers and to our readers was to improve everything she laid her hands on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among her colleagues, Pat was known as a very clear-headed and constructive editor who treated reporters with respect and criticized their work with a level of tact that was well-beyond the abilities of most of us in the news business. Put another way, she could point out your shortcomings — even mistakes that were galling and nettlesome — in a way that made the point but didn’t make people feel stupid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond all that, Pat was generous with her coaching and encouragement. She was instrumental in setting up and continuing San Francisco State's Raul Ramirez Diversity in Journalism Fund, a scholarship created in honor of KQED's late executive director of news and public affairs. Advocating for the fund was a reflection of her commitment to opening our profession to voices that have been shut out in the past. Pat also took a personal interest in the success of the students who have come to work at KQED as part of the scholarship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyche Hendricks, a colleague at KQED who was among the hundreds of people who responded to \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pfc1960/posts/10218472000665805\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a Facebook post\u003c/a> announcing Pat’s passing this past week, summed her up this way: “Her intelligence, curiosity, beautiful prose, journalistic instincts and ethics, her amazing ability to tell a story, her humor and pithy insights, her sense of justice, her quiet leadership … are irreplaceable and will be terribly missed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides her husband and partner Paul Chinn, Patricia Yollin is survived by two nieces — Jennifer Yollin of San Francisco and Julie Yollin Berk of London — and a nephew, Guy Yollin of Seattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He was born in 1946 in Havana. In April 1962, more than three years after the Cuban revolution overthrew the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, Ramirez’s parents — disillusioned by what they perceived as Fidel Castro’s failed promises — sent him and his sister to live with relatives in South Florida. He first started to explore journalism as a student at the University of Florida in Gainesville; he once told a colleague that he had studied it to improve his English. In the process, he discovered his calling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramirez’s newspaper days began in the tumultuous 1960s and '70s, when he reported for the Miami Herald, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Oakland Tribune and the San Francisco Examiner. He gained a reputation for immersing himself in the subjects that he covered, always seeking to gain in-depth understanding before publishing. In 1970, he wrote a prize-winning series for the Wall Street Journal about farmworkers in Michigan after working in the fields alongside them. At the Miami Herald, he accompanied undercover agents on raids of suspected heroin dealers. And for a San Francisco Examiner article on jail conditions, he worked several days as a deputy sheriff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May 1976, after months of investigation, Ramirez and freelance journalist Lowell Bergman broke a story for the Examiner about a Chinatown gang murder case titled “How Lies Sent Youth to Prison for Murder.” The article detailed how an assistant district attorney and two police inspectors had pressured witnesses into lying, resulting in the conviction of Richard Lee. The three law enforcement officers sued the Examiner, Bergman and Ramirez for libel, seeking $30 million in damages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Examiner, then owned by the Hearst Corp., refused to provide counsel for the freelancer Bergman, leaving him without representation, Ramirez as a matter of principle and conscience refused to be represented by the Examiner’s lawyer and joined with Bergman to seek outside counsel. A group of journalists and lawyers rallied around the two reporters and raised enough money to hire a lawyer and fight the case.

He insisted that journalism students think about the people and communities who were most often left out of news stories. In 1994, Raul was part of a team of journalists who helped me conduct a national study into how news media coverage of communities of color was flawed by stereotypes and other problems. The San Francisco State University study was released at the historic Unity '94 joint conference of African-American, Asian-American, Latino and Native-American journalists. Raul’s thoughtful analysis contributed to the success and credibility of the study. Because of his stellar reputation, Raul was often asked to review journalism schools seeking accreditation, and he used that position as another way to stress the importance of diversity in journalism. We have lost a powerful and important voice in journalism, but I believe that Raul has left an important legacy by developing and shaping young new journalists.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">— Jon Funabiki, San Francisco State University\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\">\u003cem>Raul knows Asia and Asian-American affairs.

He was born in 1946 in Havana. In April 1962, more than three years after the Cuban revolution overthrew the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, Ramirez’s parents — disillusioned by what they perceived as Fidel Castro’s failed promises — sent him and his sister to live with relatives in South Florida. He first started to explore journalism as a student at the University of Florida in Gainesville; he once told a colleague that he had studied it to improve his English. In the process, he discovered his calling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramirez’s newspaper days began in the tumultuous 1960s and '70s, when he reported for the Miami Herald, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Oakland Tribune and the San Francisco Examiner. He gained a reputation for immersing himself in the subjects that he covered, always seeking to gain in-depth understanding before publishing. In 1970, he wrote a prize-winning series for the Wall Street Journal about farmworkers in Michigan after working in the fields alongside them. At the Miami Herald, he accompanied undercover agents on raids of suspected heroin dealers. And for a San Francisco Examiner article on jail conditions, he worked several days as a deputy sheriff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May 1976, after months of investigation, Ramirez and freelance journalist Lowell Bergman broke a story for the Examiner about a Chinatown gang murder case titled “How Lies Sent Youth to Prison for Murder.” The article detailed how an assistant district attorney and two police inspectors had pressured witnesses into lying, resulting in the conviction of Richard Lee. The three law enforcement officers sued the Examiner, Bergman and Ramirez for libel, seeking $30 million in damages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Raul's voice was steady and strong, helping make the rest of us smarter and better.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">-- Robert M. Steele, DePauw University\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Raul was on the forefront of the movement to promote diversity in journalism. He insisted that journalism students think about the people and communities who were most often left out of news stories. In 1994, Raul was part of a team of journalists who helped me conduct a national study into how news media coverage of communities of color was flawed by stereotypes and other problems. The San Francisco State University study was released at the historic Unity '94 joint conference of African-American, Asian-American, Latino and Native-American journalists. Raul’s thoughtful analysis contributed to the success and credibility of the study. Because of his stellar reputation, Raul was often asked to review journalism schools seeking accreditation, and he used that position as another way to stress the importance of diversity in journalism. We have lost a powerful and important voice in journalism, but I believe that Raul has left an important legacy by developing and shaping young new journalists.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">— Jon Funabiki, San Francisco State University\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\">\u003cem>Raul knows Asia and Asian-American affairs. He gets it. It was reassuring to work with such an editor. At a cafe, on a ride in his car, at a small restaurant, on the phone at 2 a.m., as well as in the office, Raul always made you feel like you were doing something right. Without Raul, no \"Pacific Time.\" We all worked at it, and many made it possible. But \"Pacific Time\" was what it was because Raul was firmly behind it. \"Pacific Time\" is grateful to Raul.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">— Nguyen Qui Duc, Host \"Pacific Time\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Raul was a natural teacher. He loved journalism and was eager to share his experiences and his skills with his students. His classes were an exchange more than a lecture. An atmosphere of respect permeated his teaching — respect for what journalism could be when practiced at its best, respect for the students’ insights and for their potential. He set high standards and gave critiques that helped them achieve high levels many didn’t think they could reach.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>As with his colleagues in all the places where he worked, Raul’s students came to know and like him. Inevitably, they learned from him not only the basics of journalism, or the skills of investigative reporting, but also from observation of him as teacher and journalist many of them learned what it is to be a good person, a person of integrity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">-- Betty Medsger, journalist and educator, former chair of SFSU's Department of Journalism\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/qYJsejcyZRs?list=UU0FISFbEaHFc5ccrIgkZ3mg\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
