What Now, AAJA?

If you’re in San Francisco on Saturday morning, you might go down to the Hyatt Regency at the Embarcadero and take in what is being billed as a town hall on Asian American issues in media.

Do you care about the coverage you get in mainstream papers? The local television news? Are you concerned about fairness, accuracy and balance of community portrayals? Want to see more Asian male anchors? Tired of the perpetuation of the “Asian anchor babe” stereotype? You can vent all you want this Saturday. Or watch it on CSPAN and throw things at your TV set.

Lead Editorial:
The Asian American Journalists Association National Annual Convention in San Francisco this week is social meeting ground for newsies in mainstream and ethnic media.

Letters to the Editor:
Curiously Strong Stereotypes; During WWII Japanese were Enemies; More Information on Radiation; We’re All Haters at Heart.
