She's a native of Petaluma and currently lives under the \"South San Francisco the Industrial City\" sign in South City. She believes that engagement is vital to news’s future and that good journalism listens as much as it asks questions.",

San Francisco police told Mission Local Wednesday night that there were no reports of vandalism or physical violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protest — organized by street posters and on the web — targeted the amplified presence of San Francisco beat cops around the 16th Street BART plaza in recent months, part of an ongoing effort to clean up the area beleaguered with crime and transients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police have been targeting the plaza \u003ca href=\"http://missionlocal.org/2009/02/quality-of-life-at-16th-and-mission/\">for several years\u003c/a>, and nearby merchants and community members have continually \u003ca href=\"http://missionlocal.org/2013/11/bart-plazas-homelessness-thinking-longer-term/\">called for\u003c/a> greater surveillance. \u003ca href=\"http://missionlocal.org/2013/11/bart-plazas-homelessness-thinking-longer-term/\">For more than a year, \u003c/a>a group of merchants and nearby residents has been working with police and elected officials to diminish the number of incidents at the plaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mission District Police Captain Bob Moser recently \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/2013/10/sfpd-mission-district-captain-says.html\">told the \u003cem>San Francisco Business Times\u003c/em>\u003c/a> that the foot patrols have helped curb crime in the plaza. Moser also commented on the plan for a 10-story apartment building across the street: “If a development were to bring more people out who use the plaza for positive uses, as opposed to negative uses, that could have a great impact.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protesters on Wednesday argued the cops are only there to protect the gentrifiers coming into the neighborhood — and that the police presence only displaces crime to surrounding streets. At a fall meeting of concerned neighbors, businesses and elected officials, police and others were well aware of the problem of simply moving crime to neighboring streets and \u003ca href=\"http://missionlocal.org/2013/11/bart-plazas-homelessness-thinking-longer-term/\">were trying to come up with longer term solutions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crowd Wednesday was mixed in race and age and many told Mission Local they lived in the Mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-122547\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/01/MissionLocal.png\" alt=\"MissionLocal\" width=\"381\" height=\"101\">“Cops have turned a blind eye for years to all of the activity from people milling around transit stations,” said Diamond Dave, 76, who hosts a show on Mutiny Radio, while walking with the crowd of about 70 protesters down Mission. “Now, they are cracking down on people, and I think that has been propelled by this wave of new wealth to the neighborhood.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This enhanced police presence is a symbol of gentrification,” said \u003ca href=\"https://missionlocal.org/2010/01/life-after-war/\">Eddie Falcon\u003c/a>, a veteran and local activist, through a megaphone to the protesters at a rally in the 24th Street BART Station plaza before they walked into the street. “These plazas used to be a community space, a place for people with nowhere else to go, and now they are vacant except for cops and yuppies.” Falcon went on to claim that new residents of the Mission are ignorant of its cultural significance and history, trashing local eateries like Tacolicious and “Gracias Mama-f—kin-whatever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many carried signs urging for an end to evictions, high rents or new condo development, with individual protesters adding in more provocative digs along the way like “Shoot the cops!” and “We hate you!!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of these chants are silly, I know, but the things that are going on in this neighborhood are not by accident or aberration,” said a woman protester in her 60s who declined to give her name because she says she’s facing eviction. “The cops are not incidental; they are part of an infrastructure to protect the ‘new’ Mission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the cops remained stoic in the face of the taunts, the protesters didn’t go without challengers. One man walked out of the Goodwill at 19th Street with his wife and young son, and yelled “Yay, gentrification!” and got some f-bombs lobbed at him in return, which set off a series of profane exchanges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man said he is a 54-year-old Missionite of 25 years and a landlord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe in free speech and demonstration and all of that,” he said. “But when people are yelling for us to ‘kill the cops,’ that just isn’t OK. If the cops weren’t here, they wouldn’t be able to do this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“People hate who I am because I am supposedly this evil, rich guy who is ruining people’s lives and evicting them. But I am just someone who planned and worked. I’m not like these people, who are all probably into drugs and alcohol. But you know what?” — he said, holding up a bag of clothes — “We all live here, and we all shop at Goodwill.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The confrontations grew even more antagonistic when the crowd stopped in front of the new, gleaming Vara apartment complex at 15th and Mission. A few of the new residents came out on their balconies to see what was going on, and a half dozen recorded the spectacle with smartphones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">They immediately became the target of the crowd’s class warfare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We hate you and the Mission hates you!” the crowd chanted in unison. “We know where you live and we will burn this place to the ground!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What did I do?” a young woman yelled back from above the building’s garage. “I just moved here; I don’t know what’s going on!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"> “Go home!” a protester shouted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"> “But I am home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Undeterred, the crowd then headed to 16th Street BART plaza for coffee to the accompaniment of a protester beating drum sticks on a bench.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Moser also commented on the plan for a 10-story apartment building across the street: “If a development were to bring more people out who use the plaza for positive uses, as opposed to negative uses, that could have a great impact.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protesters on Wednesday argued the cops are only there to protect the gentrifiers coming into the neighborhood — and that the police presence only displaces crime to surrounding streets. At a fall meeting of concerned neighbors, businesses and elected officials, police and others were well aware of the problem of simply moving crime to neighboring streets and \u003ca href=\"http://missionlocal.org/2013/11/bart-plazas-homelessness-thinking-longer-term/\">were trying to come up with longer term solutions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crowd Wednesday was mixed in race and age and many told Mission Local they lived in the Mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-122547\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/01/MissionLocal.png\" alt=\"MissionLocal\" width=\"381\" height=\"101\">“Cops have turned a blind eye for years to all of the activity from people milling around transit stations,” said Diamond Dave, 76, who hosts a show on Mutiny Radio, while walking with the crowd of about 70 protesters down Mission. “Now, they are cracking down on people, and I think that has been propelled by this wave of new wealth to the neighborhood.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This enhanced police presence is a symbol of gentrification,” said \u003ca href=\"https://missionlocal.org/2010/01/life-after-war/\">Eddie Falcon\u003c/a>, a veteran and local activist, through a megaphone to the protesters at a rally in the 24th Street BART Station plaza before they walked into the street. “These plazas used to be a community space, a place for people with nowhere else to go, and now they are vacant except for cops and yuppies.” Falcon went on to claim that new residents of the Mission are ignorant of its cultural significance and history, trashing local eateries like Tacolicious and “Gracias Mama-f—kin-whatever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many carried signs urging for an end to evictions, high rents or new condo development, with individual protesters adding in more provocative digs along the way like “Shoot the cops!” and “We hate you!!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of these chants are silly, I know, but the things that are going on in this neighborhood are not by accident or aberration,” said a woman protester in her 60s who declined to give her name because she says she’s facing eviction. “The cops are not incidental; they are part of an infrastructure to protect the ‘new’ Mission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the cops remained stoic in the face of the taunts, the protesters didn’t go without challengers. One man walked out of the Goodwill at 19th Street with his wife and young son, and yelled “Yay, gentrification!” and got some f-bombs lobbed at him in return, which set off a series of profane exchanges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man said he is a 54-year-old Missionite of 25 years and a landlord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe in free speech and demonstration and all of that,” he said. “But when people are yelling for us to ‘kill the cops,’ that just isn’t OK. If the cops weren’t here, they wouldn’t be able to do this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“People hate who I am because I am supposedly this evil, rich guy who is ruining people’s lives and evicting them. But I am just someone who planned and worked. I’m not like these people, who are all probably into drugs and alcohol. But you know what?” — he said, holding up a bag of clothes — “We all live here, and we all shop at Goodwill.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The confrontations grew even more antagonistic when the crowd stopped in front of the new, gleaming Vara apartment complex at 15th and Mission. A few of the new residents came out on their balconies to see what was going on, and a half dozen recorded the spectacle with smartphones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">They immediately became the target of the crowd’s class warfare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We hate you and the Mission hates you!” the crowd chanted in unison. “We know where you live and we will burn this place to the ground!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What did I do?” a young woman yelled back from above the building’s garage. “I just moved here; I don’t know what’s going on!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"> “Go home!” a protester shouted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"> “But I am home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Undeterred, the crowd then headed to 16th Street BART plaza for coffee to the accompaniment of a protester beating drum sticks on a bench.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(Kevin Berne/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When you work in radio, you listen to a lot of it. This is simultaneously a perk of the job and an occupational hazard — one’s memory merges shows and guests, and too often we become blasé about interviews that give listeners \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/series/700000/driveway-moments\">driveway moments\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, when you produce a show, you tend to be overly critical of it and engage in a lot of Monday-morning quarterbacking. You get mad at yourself because a guest was too tepid, a topic wasn’t discussed enough, or you let an off-topic call on air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All that is to say, if those of us who work in radio recommend a show, chances are it warrants listening. So as the Forum staff gets ready to change the calendar over to 2014, here are shows that have stayed with us, and bubble as highlights of 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> Host Michael Krasny:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI am still fascinated by the range and intensity of responses we received for the hour we did on the Bay Area’s attitude toward dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 20th anniversary show I did with Dave Iverson was especially memorable. I thought Dave Iverson was especially good at getting some nugget narratives out of me and I was surprised in a good way at the cuts Senior Producer Dan Zoll put together for the hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most memorable interviews of the year were Justice Sonia Sotomayor and boxer Mike Tyson. Justice Sotomayor was terrific – lively, humane, totally engaging and she had an inspiring personal story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyson was a surprise – smart, amicable, a good storyteller. From the get-go he called me “The Kras.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Friday Host Dave Iverson:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nTwo shows that were memorable for me: our program on kindness, which in turn prompted a show on apologies. What was striking to me was how each of those programs seemed to strike a real chord with listeners. It reminded me that as important as it is for Forum to cover policy issues, people’s lives, deep down, aren’t really about issues. What sticks inside us is often more basic. And getting a chance to hear stories about everyday moments that were turning points in someone’s life, in this case an act of kindness or an an apology, can be as important as our more usual fare. It’s the same reason we’re drawn to NPR’s \u003ca href=\"http://storycorps.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">StoryCorps\u003c/a>. We all have a hunger to hear a good story, one that resonates within us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Senior Producer Dan Zoll:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe Forum team is still talking about Michael Krasny’s fascinating interview with \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201302280930\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">boxer Mike Tyson\u003c/a>, who was refreshingly open and willing to address tough questions and uncomfortable subjects, including the time he discovered his ex-wife Robin Givens with Brad Pitt. Tyson may be the only guest to have called Michael “\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/mike-tyson-calls-michael\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Kraz-ster\u003c/a>.” The former heavyweight champ also talked passionately about his love of pigeons, the dangers of economic inequality, and military history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another program that stands out was our show on Propositions B and C on San Francisco’s November ballot. At Forum we take great pride in our election coverage. This year, there were not many high-profile issues on local ballots, but one exception was these two measures, which involved a proposal for the construction of a high-rise on the Embarcadero waterfront. Host Dave Iverson did a stellar job of breaking down a complex and contentious topic. Our panel was knowledgeable, passionate and well-matched, and featured one politician and one activist on each side. I think it was one of those shows that was both a service to voters and engaging radio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Producer Judy Campbell: \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWe did a really fun show on the “Magic and Mystery of the Bay Area’s Fog.” It was great to hear so many people chime in with their love, and their hate, for the fog, including a bar pilot who guided ships through the bay, who said that navigating a boat in the fog is like driving down a highway with the hood up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another favorite was our show marking the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Michael talked with four Californians whose lives were profoundly affected by the war — a woman who lost her son, a veteran of the war, an Iraqi translator who now lives in San Jose and a woman with small children whose husband was deployed. It was a very personal and illuminating look back at the war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Producer Irene Noguchi\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nMy choice is “\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201308161000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Case for Kindness\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea for this show stemmed from a commencement speech that short story writer George Saunders gave at Syracuse University. Instead of doling out witty career advice, he asked graduates to do one thing: be kinder. We asked our listeners for their stories of kindness, or times when they wished they’d been kinder. I was fortunate to answer the phones that day, and some of the stories nearly brought me to tears. (Some of the best stories: A concentration camp survivor who remembered a starving child sharing food with him, a woman whose childhood bullies called her years later to apologize, and an alcoholic who tracked down his long-lost daughter — also an addict — and took her to Alcoholics Anonymous with him.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My second pick is our show on efforts to save African elephants. Researching this show was both informative and heartbreaking. We get to do a lot of in-depth research on the topics we cover, and for this show, I was talking to world experts who described both the caring nature and gentleness of the elephants they studied, and the horror of elephants being slaughtered for their tusks over the decades. At this rate, I wonder if my future grandchildren will ever see a wild African elephant; it’s still hard for me to imagine any species we’ve grown up with no longer existing. We have to cover many difficult topics in our field, but this one reminded me of fragility of our ecosystem and how easily a species can disappear completely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Online Producer Amanda Stupi:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI was really pleased with the show we did in the wake of the shooting of Santa Rosa teenager Andy Lopez. For me, this incident crystallized the intersection of many issues: police and community relations, the reach of the gun lobby, the racial and class division in the North Bay. The latter is of particular importance to me, as I grew up in the North Bay, and am always amazed at how it is overlooked by the media. All too often our region is grouped together and dismissed as “the liberal Bay Area,” but in truth, the communities in the Bay Area differ widely, each with its own strengths, personality, and problems. For me this show and the Andy Lopez incident shone a light on the divisions of a community that often go underreported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just about every show in our \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/series/priced-out/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Priced Out\u003c/a> series has left me pondering a big-picture question, such as, “Is rent control really good for the rental market?” “Does anyone have a ‘right’ to live in a certain city?” and “What is gentrification?” But the biggest question surrounding the Bay Area’s lack of affordable housing is “What’s the solution?” Our show on the topic is one that has stayed with me months later.\u003c/p>\n\n",

What was striking to me was how each of those programs seemed to strike a real chord with listeners. It reminded me that as important as it is for Forum to cover policy issues, people’s lives, deep down, aren’t really about issues. What sticks inside us is often more basic. And getting a chance to hear stories about everyday moments that were turning points in someone’s life, in this case an act of kindness or an an apology, can be as important as our more usual fare. It’s the same reason we’re drawn to NPR’s \u003ca href=\"http://storycorps.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">StoryCorps\u003c/a>. We all have a hunger to hear a good story, one that resonates within us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Senior Producer Dan Zoll:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe Forum team is still talking about Michael Krasny’s fascinating interview with \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201302280930\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">boxer Mike Tyson\u003c/a>, who was refreshingly open and willing to address tough questions and uncomfortable subjects, including the time he discovered his ex-wife Robin Givens with Brad Pitt. Tyson may be the only guest to have called Michael “\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/mike-tyson-calls-michael\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Kraz-ster\u003c/a>.” The former heavyweight champ also talked passionately about his love of pigeons, the dangers of economic inequality, and military history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another program that stands out was our show on Propositions B and C on San Francisco’s November ballot. At Forum we take great pride in our election coverage. This year, there were not many high-profile issues on local ballots, but one exception was these two measures, which involved a proposal for the construction of a high-rise on the Embarcadero waterfront. Host Dave Iverson did a stellar job of breaking down a complex and contentious topic. Our panel was knowledgeable, passionate and well-matched, and featured one politician and one activist on each side. I think it was one of those shows that was both a service to voters and engaging radio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Producer Judy Campbell: \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWe did a really fun show on the “Magic and Mystery of the Bay Area’s Fog.” It was great to hear so many people chime in with their love, and their hate, for the fog, including a bar pilot who guided ships through the bay, who said that navigating a boat in the fog is like driving down a highway with the hood up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another favorite was our show marking the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Michael talked with four Californians whose lives were profoundly affected by the war — a woman who lost her son, a veteran of the war, an Iraqi translator who now lives in San Jose and a woman with small children whose husband was deployed. It was a very personal and illuminating look back at the war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Producer Irene Noguchi\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nMy choice is “\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201308161000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Case for Kindness\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea for this show stemmed from a commencement speech that short story writer George Saunders gave at Syracuse University. Instead of doling out witty career advice, he asked graduates to do one thing: be kinder. We asked our listeners for their stories of kindness, or times when they wished they’d been kinder. I was fortunate to answer the phones that day, and some of the stories nearly brought me to tears. (Some of the best stories: A concentration camp survivor who remembered a starving child sharing food with him, a woman whose childhood bullies called her years later to apologize, and an alcoholic who tracked down his long-lost daughter — also an addict — and took her to Alcoholics Anonymous with him.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My second pick is our show on efforts to save African elephants. Researching this show was both informative and heartbreaking. We get to do a lot of in-depth research on the topics we cover, and for this show, I was talking to world experts who described both the caring nature and gentleness of the elephants they studied, and the horror of elephants being slaughtered for their tusks over the decades. At this rate, I wonder if my future grandchildren will ever see a wild African elephant; it’s still hard for me to imagine any species we’ve grown up with no longer existing. We have to cover many difficult topics in our field, but this one reminded me of fragility of our ecosystem and how easily a species can disappear completely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Online Producer Amanda Stupi:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI was really pleased with the show we did in the wake of the shooting of Santa Rosa teenager Andy Lopez. For me, this incident crystallized the intersection of many issues: police and community relations, the reach of the gun lobby, the racial and class division in the North Bay. The latter is of particular importance to me, as I grew up in the North Bay, and am always amazed at how it is overlooked by the media. All too often our region is grouped together and dismissed as “the liberal Bay Area,” but in truth, the communities in the Bay Area differ widely, each with its own strengths, personality, and problems. For me this show and the Andy Lopez incident shone a light on the divisions of a community that often go underreported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Their ratings of the year gone by? Less than glowing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the public thought of 2013:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GOOD YEAR OR GOOD RIDDANCE?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the whole, Americans rate their own experience in 2013 more positively than negatively, but when asked to assess the year for the United States or the world at large, things turn sour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—All told, 32 percent say 2013 was a better year for them than 2012, while 20 percent say it was worse and 46 percent say the two years were really about the same. Young people were more apt to see improvement: 40 percent of people under age 30 called 2013 a better year than 2012, compared with 25 percent of people age 65 or older.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—The public splits evenly on how the year turned out for the country, 25 percent saying it was better than 2012, 25 percent saying it was worse. As with most questions about the state of affairs in the U.S. these days, there's a sharp partisan divide. Democrats are more apt to say the U.S. turned out better in 2013 than 2012 (37 percent) than are Republicans (17 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Thinking about the world at large, 30 percent say 2013 was worse than 2012, while just 20 percent say it was better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the outlook for the new year is positive: 49 percent think their own fortunes will improve in 2014, 14 percent are anticipating the new year to be a downgrade from the old.

Only 8 percent say they'll go to a bar, restaurant or other organized event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Younger Americans are least apt to spend the holiday at home: 39 percent of those under age 30 will celebrate at home, 33 percent at someone else's home, 13 percent at a bar or other venue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Regardless of their own time zone, nearly 6 in 10 say they'll watch at least some of the celebration from New York City's Times Square.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>COUNTDOWN COMPANIONS\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wherever they're spending the holiday, most Americans prefer the company of family.

Parents like to be with their children, more than the children like to be with their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Less conventional choices: 2 percent cite their pets, 3 percent God, Jesus or their religious congregation, and less than 1 percent said they wanted to ring it in with their co-workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Of course, some opt out altogether: 18 percent say they're not planning to celebrate on New Year's Eve, and 9 percent say there's no one with whom they'd like to party, preferring instead their pillow, TiVo or their own thoughts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WHAT MATTERED IN NEWS\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The implementation of the health care law topped the list of the most important news stories of 2013, with 26 percent citing it. In an Associated Press survey of news directors and editors, 45 of 144 journalists surveyed called the health care rollout their top story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the AP-Times Square poll, the death of Nelson Mandela occurred as the poll was underway. It rose quickly, with 8 percent naming it as the most important news of the year, matching the share citing the federal government's budget difficulties or shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget fight, which led to a partial shutdown of the federal government in October, was rated extremely or very important by 60 percent of Americans, and prompted rare bipartisan agreement. About two-thirds in each major party, 65 percent of Republicans and 63 percent of Democrats, rated it highly important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A majority said the Boston Marathon bombings were extremely or very important, and 47 percent considered the national debate over gun laws that important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>POP CULTURE: MOSTLY FORGETTABLE MOMENTS\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miley Cyrus's MTV Video Music Awards performance. The launch of \"Lean In.\" Apologies from Paula Deen and Lance Armstrong. Walter White's exit and the entrance of the Netflix series \"House of Cards.\" What do they all have in common? More Americans say these pop culture moments were more forgettable than memorable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just one pop culture moment was deemed more memorable than forgettable: The birth of Prince George to Britain's Prince William and his wife, Kate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Among men, 64 percent called the debate on work-life balance sparked by the book \"Lean In\" and other writings forgettable. About half of women agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—About 1 in 5 younger Americans said the launch of original programming through streaming services like Netflix or Hulu was a memorable moment, about doubling the share among those age 50 and up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Residents of the West were more likely than others to consider memorable the San Francisco \"Batkid\" (31 percent) or the final season of the series \"Breaking Bad\" (19 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AP-Times Square New Year's Eve Poll was conducted by GfK Public Affairs and Corporate Communications from Dec. 5-9 and involved online interviews with 1,367 adults. The survey has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for all respondents. The poll is a cooperative effort between AP and the organizers of the Times Square New Year's Eve Celebration, the Times Square Alliance and Countdown Entertainment. The Alliance is a non-profit group that seeks to promote Times Square, and Countdown Entertainment represents the owners of One Times Square and the New Year's Eve Ball Drop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survey was conducted using KnowledgePanel, a probability-based Internet panel designed to be representative of the U.S. population. Respondents to the survey were first selected randomly, using phone or mail survey methods, and were later interviewed online. People selected for KnowledgePanel who didn't otherwise have access to the Internet were provided with the ability to access the Internet at no cost to them.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It rose quickly, with 8 percent naming it as the most important news of the year, matching the share citing the federal government's budget difficulties or shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget fight, which led to a partial shutdown of the federal government in October, was rated extremely or very important by 60 percent of Americans, and prompted rare bipartisan agreement.

The launch of \"Lean In.\" Apologies from Paula Deen and Lance Armstrong. Walter White's exit and the entrance of the Netflix series \"House of Cards.\" What do they all have in common? More Americans say these pop culture moments were more forgettable than memorable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just one pop culture moment was deemed more memorable than forgettable: The birth of Prince George to Britain's Prince William and his wife, Kate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Among men, 64 percent called the debate on work-life balance sparked by the book \"Lean In\" and other writings forgettable. About half of women agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—About 1 in 5 younger Americans said the launch of original programming through streaming services like Netflix or Hulu was a memorable moment, about doubling the share among those age 50 and up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Residents of the West were more likely than others to consider memorable the San Francisco \"Batkid\" (31 percent) or the final season of the series \"Breaking Bad\" (19 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AP-Times Square New Year's Eve Poll was conducted by GfK Public Affairs and Corporate Communications from Dec. 5-9 and involved online interviews with 1,367 adults.
