AsianWeek was America's first and largest English-language print and on-line publication serving East Asian Americans.[1] The news organization played an important role nationally[2] and in the San Francisco Bay Area as the “Voice of Asian America”.[3] It provided news coverage across all East Asian ethnicities.[4]
AsianWeek's nature was reflected in its name -- both its weekly frequency and its focus on a pan-ethnic East Asian identity,[5] as the only all English publication serving the Asian community.[6] AsianWeek was one of the newspapers owned and operated by the Fang family of San Francisco, with others including the San Francisco Independent and the San Francisco Examiner.[7] It was founded by John Fang in 1979 and helmed by long-time AsianWeek President James Fang from 1993-2009.
AsianWeek headquarters were located in San Francisco's Chinatown. It stopped publishing a weekly print edition in 2009, and on-line publication ceased in 2012. AsianWeek still publishes occasional special editions and community organizing activity has continued with the AsianWeek Foundation.
