Death… Or Rebirth?
Community Forum on the Japanese American Press
Sunday, Dec. 6
1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California
1840 Sutter St., SF’s Japantown.
How will the community be kept informed with the closure of Northern California’s two Japanese American bilingual newspapers? How will this impact community organizations? Arising out of the ashes of the Nichi Bei Times, how is the Nichi Bei Foundation and its nonprofit publication — the Nichi Bei Weekly — functioning? Does the community need a Japanese-language press?
Co-sponsored by the Japanese American National Library, National Japanese American Historical Society, the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California, the Nichi Bei Foundation and the Nichi Bei Weekly.
For more information: (415) 673-1009 or info@nichibeifoundation.org.
Hey folks,
Please consider subscribing or donating to the Nichi Bei Foundation, http://nichibeifoundation.org/2009/11/community-forum-on-the-japanese-american-press-dec-6/#more-156
The Nichi Bei Foundation will fill the void left by the demise of both Japanese newspaper in San Francisco by pubishing once a week The Nic…hi Bei times, the Hokubei Mainichi, and JCCNC played major roles in rallying the Japanese Community to save the Japan Center. We need the Nichi Bei Foundation now and for certain in the future.
