His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"mbeagle":{"type":"authors","id":"11273","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"11273","found":true},"name":"Matt Beagle","firstName":"Matt","lastName":"Beagle","slug":"mbeagle","email":"mbeagle@KQED.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":[],"title":null,"bio":"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matt Beagle is a freelance radio producer and reporter for KQED News.

have said spills involving heavy tar-sands oil from Canada are more dangerous and harder to clean up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At a time when California needs to rapidly move away from fossil fuels, this short-sighted decision will take us in the exact opposite direction,\" Kretzmann said. \"The air district should be fighting to protect our air and health, not bending over backwards to help the oil industry.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local air regulators have no power to dictate what kind of oil a refinery blends at their facilities, according to Bay Area Air Quality Management District spokesman Tom Flannigan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phillips 66 spokesman Dennis Nuss declined to comment on why the company requested the increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a note in the air district's \u003ca
