SUMMARY:Asian Media\, Past and Future
DESCRIPTION:Serving Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities in an Evolving Media Landscape \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nNewmark J-School and the Center for Community Media are hosting a virtual town hall to launch the Asian Media Initiative\, the first national initiative to organize and build sustainability for community media for and by Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. \nHow can AAPI-serving media support and connect both new arrivals and longstanding Indigenous and Asian American news audiences in the face of rampant online disinformation\, political polarization\, ongoing anti-Asian violence\, and more? This town hall will engage thought leaders and Asian media journalists in a reflection on the history of Asian and AAPI-serving media in the U.S.\, and a dialogue on the future of community media in the age of social media. \nFollowing welcoming remarks by Newmark J-School dean Graciela Mochkofsky\, newly appointed Asian Media Initiative director Kavitha Rajagopalan will introduce the initiative. Rajagopalan will then moderate a panel discussion on the history of legacy Asian community media and digital storytelling\, featuring CCM communications director and longtime community media advocate Jehangir Khattak\, and digital storytelling pioneer Dr. Shirley Suet-ling Tang (鄧雪齡). \nThe following Asian media journalists will share insights to kick off a town hall conversation between journalists\, publishers\, and stakeholders in AAPI-serving community media. \n\n\nRong Xiaoqing (榮筱箐)\, Sing Tao Daily  \n\n\nKishor Panthi\, Khasokhas and NepYork \n\n\nIndah Nuritasari\, Indonesian Lantern \n\n\nGiannina Ong\, Mochi Magazine \n\n\nPanelists: \nJehangir Khattak is Communications Director at the Center for Community Media at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism.
