By Ethen Lieser The minority journalist steps out of her house. She sips her morning coffee, jauntily walking to her office. Her shoulders are hoisted high. She whistles a happy tune. On her way to work, she passes many Asian Americans, busy with their day’s activities. These are the people who breathe life into the community. They are the inimitable cog. She enters the newsroom, but she doesn’t see faces like her own, or like those of the people she just passed outside. She’s alone. That minority journalist is Marian Liu, who just graduated from U.C. Berkeley and completed the Chips Quinn Program internship at the Oakland Tribune. Despite the overwhelming presence of Asian Americans in Oakland and the surrounding Bay Area, Liu was the only Asian American reporter on staff. |
