I would be happy to provide a connection with one of the largest Chinese
language newspaper in the US--the World Journal, which publishes from
Flushing NY, with downlinks in 3 places nationwide.
I believe the World Journal is a huge player in news and information for
the Chinese-speaking community.
If I can help in any way, please let me know.
Best,
Joann Lee

Diana,
I think this is a fantastic idea. Count on me if you need help with
Florida or with anything.

Dear Minorities and Communication colleagues of AEJMC,
In order for the division to consider co-sponsorship of this event, it
is necessary that more than one MAC person (Diana) be involved in it.
Would this be of interest, as a Professional Freedom and Responsibility
(PF&R) out of convention activity for the Minorities and Communication
Division?
As I understood Camilla, the way in which persons would be involved
would be to help gather papers and send them to me.
We need a wide variety to choose from. Not all papers get in the gallery
because there is limited space. Also, there is copy involved with the
newspapers we feature for the exhibit.
The descriptions accompanying the newspapers should contain a brief
history of the paper, publishing dates, ownership, readership info,
press functions beyond surveillance such as political galvanization,
cultural/racial pride, etc.(this latter would be known easily by a
person who is actually part of the readership).
See description below. Thank you for your consideration, Diana Rios

"Ethnic American Press: Cultural Maintenance and Assimilation Roles"
is my exhibition project that has been accepted at the Dodd Center at
the University of Connecticut. The exhibit features selected archive and
contemporary alternative US newspapers.
This has been slated for the Dodd Research Center main gallery at UConn
starting March 2008. This will run a few months and will have standard
publicity from UConn.
I am working with students from the Dept of Communication and the
Institute for Puerto Rican and Latino Studies to gather, select
newspapers and write copy for this exhibit. Archives and papers come
from the Dodd collection, my private collection, and from news outlets.
