The Northwest Asian Weekly is a community newspaper and news website that was founded in 1982 by Assunta Ng, a Chinese-American journalist and community leader. The idea behind the Northwest Asian Weekly was to create a publication that would serve the diverse Asian-American communities in the Pacific Northwest region, providing news, information, and a platform for the voices and perspectives of this underrepresented demographic. Today, the Northwest Asian Weekly is owned and operated by the Northwest Asian Weekly Foundation, a non-profit organization. Based in Seattle, Washington, the Northwest Asian Weekly covers a wide range of topics, including local and national politics, business, arts and culture, and community events, with a particular focus on issues and stories relevant to the Asian-American community in the Pacific Northwest. The publication also includes coverage of sports, entertainment, and lifestyle topics. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of the Northwest Asian Weekly is its commitment to multilingual reporting. In addition to publishing content in English, the newspaper and website also feature articles in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other Asian languages, reflecting the diversity of its readership and ensuring that its coverage is accessible to a broad range of community members.
