Asian American Newspapers

Asian American newspapers in the United States reflect the diversity of Asian Americans themselves. While bilingual and Asian-language (e.g., Korean, Japanese) newspapers are dedicated to serving specific Asian American communities or first-generation immigrants, English-language publications tend to serve Asian American descendants in the United States or attempt to reach a larger reader population. This entry provides an overview of Asian American newspapers, their roles, the challenges they face, and the implications for society and mass media.
