Yellow Journalist
William Wong sums up his career—and looks for another one.

Bill Wong has compiled his best columns and writings into a book called Yellow Journalist.

By Dann McDorman
He’s the elder statesman of Asian-American journalism, but William Wong still doesn’t get the respect he feels he deserves. For nearly thirty years, Wong wrote from the epicenter of the Asian American community — the Bay Area — for publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The Oakland Tribune, East Bay Express, San Francisco Chronicle/The Examiner, and AsianWeek. But now, at age 60, his output is reduced to occasional columns for the Hearst Chronicle and hack freelance work for nonprofits. Wong hopes that the publication of Yellow Journalist will thrust him — and the community he serves — back into mainstream newsrooms.
