Race in America: Where Is the Coverage of Anti-Asian Harassment and Violence?
Dear Poynter Supporter,
The stories are shocking — 84-year-old Vicha Ratanapakdee ([link removed]) died of wounds suffered when a stranger knocked him down on a San Francisco street. A 91-year-old man who was thrown to the ground on a street in Oakland, California. A Filipino man on his way to work slashed in the face on a New York City subway train — it took 100 stitches to close the wounds. Why haven’t these seemingly random acts of anti-Asian violence received more media attention?
Join Poynter’s Joie Chen ([link removed]) as she talks to Juju Chang ([link removed]) of ABC News and Weijia Jiang ([link removed]) of CBS News. You’ll discover what Chang, co-anchor of “Nightline,” and White House correspondent Jiang have learned about the Asian American experience through their reporting. You’ll emerge with a better understanding of the situation and why it’s gone under reported.
You are invited to tune in for this free On Poynt session Thursday, Feb. 25, at noon Eastern. There will be time for questions at the end of the session, moderated by Chen.
