• On the launch of the new Nichi Bei Foundation — publishers of the first nonprofit ethnic newspaper of its kind in the country, the Nichi Bei Weekly — we are raising much-needed funds in order to keep the Japanese American community connected, informed and empowered.

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.
