Our Mission
AsianWeek is the national English-language newsweekly for the rapidly growing Asian Pacific American community. Our mission is threefold.
First, we seek to chronicle the Asian Pacific American experience. From the most recently arrived immigrants to leaders in American society, from life on the streets of Chinatown to deal making in the halls of power, and from achievements in business and academics to influences on pop culture, AsianWeek reports on the people, the events, and the ideas that shape not only Asian American society, but the dominant culture as well.
Second, we provide a national forum on issues important to Asian Pacific Americans. As the only English-language, pan-ethnic national newsweekly, AsianWeek helps to set the agenda for Asian Pacific America. In all of our coverage and commentary, we seek to place news in a context that is relevant to our readers.
Lastly, we seek to involve Asian Pacific Americans in the American democratic experiment. We believe that an informed electorate is the key to a healthy democracy and we aggressively advocate a more active role in the political process. Further, by reporting on the struggles for personal and political empowerment and on the other issues of special interest to our readers, we help to define the priorities of the national Asian Pacific American community and create a stronger political voice among all Asian Pacific Americans.
