Reframing Perceptions: Asian American Women Journalist Trailblazers
The 1990 Institute and US-China Education Trust (USCET) present this webinar featuring trailblazing Asian American women journalists. Asian American journalists have brought the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community front and center in the American discourse on race, ethnicity, and identity. They shed light on the AAPI community’s resilience and contextualize racism against Asians in America. Their tireless work helps all of us better understand what it means to be Asian in America, what it was like in the past, and how much has–and has not–changed.

By Angela Fu
“One of the things that I had to get out of as a journalist of color was that I always was worried about even being allowed to be in the room, let alone ask for more,” said Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism data journalist in residence Lam Thuy Vo. “If someone gives you … a salary band within which you have playing room, it makes it much easier. It takes away a lot of the burden from a candidate to ask for what they may or may not know is the realm of possibility.” Read more.
