KQED; COURTESY COURTESY AREA BOOK FESTIVAL; BAY COURTESY NEWS + NOTES KQED Helps Lead California Reporting Project Coalition of newsrooms seeks to expose police misconduct KQED is leading an effort to expose police misconduct and secret records now made available under new state law. According to CNN’s Brian Stelter, “This effort will inspire you. Newsrooms throughout California — 33 so far — are working together to publish police misconduct records.” He’s talking about the California Reporting Project, an unprecedented coalition of California newspapers, public media stations and more. KQED, Los Angeles public radio station KPCC, the Los Angeles Times and others are setting aside competition and combining forces to research and report on police documents that have become public for the first time in decades under California’s new police transparency law. The law makes public internal records from officer-involved shootings and misconduct, such as officers who lied or committed sexual assault while on duty. COURTESY MARK FIORE. COURTESY KQED’s criminal justice reporters Alex Emslie and Sukey Lewis have played a major role in setting up the coalition and reporting on police miscon- duct. These stories are already leading to impacts on communities such as disciplinary actions and investigations of police officers with histories of mis- arresting officer lied (the officer was fired). KQED has also joined lawsuits conduct, and to a judge dismissing charges against against the California Department of Justice and Attorney General to com- a defendant when released records revealed the pel the release of the records. kqed.org/news/11733690 DECEMBER 2018 DECEMBER 2018 • SUSTAINING MEMBERS: Help us reach our goal — be one of the essential 10,000 sustainers to switch from a monthly credit card donation to an automatic contribution from your bank account.

Research has shown the deleterious effects of electronics on sleep and cognitive development in children, who in 2018 spent nearly four hours a day looking at screens. Barriers like income and proximity to nature also make access to the outdoors extremely challenging for some families. Meanwhile, innovative new technologies are creating pathways for everyday citizens to engage with — and even monitor — nature. How do we encourage outdoor curiosity and conservation in a generation raised on screen time? And are there options for using phones and video games to facilitate engagement with nature? —Chloe Morizono Is the American Dream Out of Reach for Most Californians? Airs Wednesday, May 15, at 8pm on KQED 88.5 FM California’s powerhouse economy, the fifth largest in the world, relies on a skilled, healthy and available workforce. Yet employers say that job candidates often lack the skills they need — and they cannot grow as a result. Meanwhile, many workers make low wages that are stagnant, despite ever-higher living costs. Often workers lack access to quality job training and are increasingly shut out of California’s middle class. Join business and com- munity leaders at the Commonwealth Club for a discussion about the California workforce and how to restore the state’s vibrant middle class. —Chloe Morizono PODCASTS The best podcasts to listen to right now, recommended by Cristina Kim, producer of Forum and Truth Be Told.
