Promises, Promises, and Not a Job in Sight Abstract: This piece was produced in October 2010 and looked at California’s impending gubernatorial race. Jobs and the economy were a big issue in that campaign between Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown, and I set out to answer whether either candidate could provide the economic relief they were promising. Resources: Mathews, Joe and Mark Paul. California Crackup: How Reform Broke the Golden State and How We Can Fix It. 2010, University of California Press. Interviews: Mark Paul, Senior Scholar, New America Foundation. Sept. 20, 2010 Frank Webb, Former Senior Software Engineer. Oct. 15, 2010 Broke Ass State Abstract: With California’s unemployment numbers at a record high 12 percent and a bleak economy, I wondered why anyone would run for office in California. Enter Holly Mitchell, who ran for the state Assembly as a first-time candidate—a single woman who planned to uproot her life and ten-year-old son to make a difference. Interviews: Carole Migden, former state senator: Sept. 23, 2010 Holly Mitchell, candidate: Sept. 24, 25; Oct. 6, 7, 31; Nov. 2, 2010 Ryan Mitchell, son: Oct. 7, 2010 Jim Brulte, former Republican Assembly and Senate leader: Oct. 12, 2010 Sylvia Johnson, mother: Nov. 2, 2010 The Violinist Abstract: Ramzi Aburedwan grew up in a Ramallah, West Bank refugee camp during the height of the first intifada between Israel and Palestine, during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Without resources, he led a violent life until a chance encounter gave him the opportunity to play music. Now 31, his music school, al Kamandjati, is changing lives in the heart of Ramallah’s old city for children of low and mid-income families. Interviews: Peter Sulski, American violist: Dec. 9, 2010 Mahmoud Karzon, student at al Kamandjati: Dec. 12, 2010 Ramzi Aburedwan, founder of al Kamandjati: Dec. 13, 2010
