9 Asian-Interest News Sites - mediablog.prnewswire.com

In recent years Asian Pacific Americans have made important gains in visibility in U.S. society.

From and increasing presence in media and on television to the runaway success of the romcom “Crazy Rich Asians,” there have been many important victories. With each of these wins comes new voices and new stories to the tapestry of our society.

To celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (#APAHM), here are nine sites telling unique stories by and about these vital communities. For a few of these sites, this is their first time on our best-of list; others also were recognized in our 2018 round-up.

1. AsAmNews

As its name suggests, AsAmNews offers a round-up of news featuring Asian Americans. According to the site, “Special emphasis is placed on featuring stories about Asian Americans breaking stereotypes and making contributions in both the mainstream and the Asian American community. The site is dedicated to documenting the Asian American experience to showcase its depth and diversity.”

In addition to coverage of the diverse ethnic groups making up the Asian Pacific umbrella, the site also has sections on achievements (“Bad Ass Asians”), students, and LGBT issues.
