Origin StoriesOrigin Stories

We asked KQED journalists to share their origin stories and the experiences that laid the foundation for their work in public media. While their responses have ranged from delightful to deeply touching, all of them are moving. They remind us that journalism and public media is about connection: making friends, honoring the memories of loved ones or searching out pathways to share the stories of disadvantaged people in our world communities in order to promote understanding.
