Now more than ever, Asian American and Pacific Islander, or AAPI, college journalists should be empowered to center their community’s voices in their work. Stop AAPI Hate, a coalition that records and reports discrimination against Asian Americans, received 3,795 incidents of harassment throughout the country between last March and this February. From the Trump administration’s ignorant remarks to the six Asian women who were attacked in Atlanta, violence has become more pronounced. For many Asian Americans, racism is nothing new — not when it is rooted in the United States’ long history of anti-Asian sentiments. But in order to change this narrative, Asian American journalists need to have their voices heard.
