KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
7 p.m. Thursday, Yerba Buena 7-9, Lower B-2 Level
Kevin Fagan, reporter
Kevin Fagan is a longtime reporter at the San Francisco Chronicle. He specializes in
enterprise news-feature writing and breaking news, taking particular pleasure in ferreting
out stories others might not find — from profiling the desperate lives of homeless drug
addicts to riding the rails with hobos, finding people who sleep in coffins and detailing
the intricacies of hunting down serial killers.
From 2003 to 2006, Fagan was the only beat reporter in the United States covering
homelessness full time. He has witnessed seven prison executions and has covered
many of the biggest breaking stories of our time, from the Sept. 11 terror attacks and
the Columbine High School massacre to the 2008 presidential election, the Jaycee Lee
Dugard kidnapping case and the Occupy movement.
Fagan has won more than 80 national and regional awards, including the national James Aronson Award for
Social Justice Journalism as well as a Knight Fellowship to Stanford University.
Brant Ward, photographer
Brant Ward was a photographer for the San Francisco Chronicle for over 30 years. He
retired in 2015 and continues to document our times. In 2003, Ward and writer Kevin
Fagan were assigned to cover the homeless predicament in San Francisco on the eve of a
major mayoral election.
The series, “Shame of the City,” included scenes from a traffic island, a family living out
of their van, and a look inside a city shelter and the various SRO hotels that cover the
Tenderloin area.
For the next decade, Ward and Fagan continued to tell the saga of the nation’s homeless
from New York to California. Unfortunately, it is a story that has never ended. Ward’s
website is www.brantwardphotos.com.
