2007 Focus Project
A new survey commissioned by AAJA shows that Asian American journalists
generally are positive about their profession, but worried about how media
consolidation may affect their future in it. They have mixed feelings about
how much impact they have had on diversity in the stories their news
organization covers and in their newsrooms. They have considerable interest
in improving their skills and acquiring new ones. The study, funded by a
grant from the World Journal, was conducted by Professor Stephen K. Doig,
Knight Chair in Journalism at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and
Mass Communication at Arizona State University. Results from the study were announced at the 19th Annual National Convention in the Miami, FL.

Surveying Asian Americans: Challenges, Current Practice, Solutions
A report jointly sponsored by AAJA and the Reynolds School of Journalism, University of Nevada-Reno. This study looks at whether Asian American representation in poll results is

of questions about Asian Americans are being asked, in what language poll questions are
asked, and whose voices are answering those questions. Finally, this study looks at the
reasons behind these practices with interviews with researchers at polling organizations. Published August 2003
