The Asian American Journalists Association is pleased to
announce the selection of the Michigan chapter as the host for the
organization's 2011 national convention. The convention will be held in
Detroit on August 10-13, 2011, at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center and COBO Center. This will be the first time that Detroit will host an AAJA convention.
With an illustrative history that boasts the seed of soul music
(Motown), an amazing collection of architecture from days of old, and an
arsenal of stories based on social justice and democracy, Detroit still
seems to be a road less traveled. However, a lot of American cultural
icons and events continue to stem from this town which has exfoliated
its grim past of violence and industrial smokestacks and has evolved
into a city that sports a rare vintage charm and a thriving arts and
film industry.
Diversity is a way of life in Detroit with immigrant populations
having flocked to the city since the 19th century consisting of an
amalgamation of ethnic groups from Hmong to Hungarian, Nigerian to
Nicaraguan, Iraqi to Italian. According to The Detroit Almanac,
an estimated 300,000 Arab Americans reside in metro Detroit with
southeast Michigan as the home to the largest and most influential
Arabic-speaking population in North America.
AAJA welcomes the Michigan Chapter as it places its footprint on
the timeline of AAJA conventions and marks the organization's 30th
anniversary.

The Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) was founded in 1981 by a few Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) journalists who felt a need to support one another and to encourage more Asian American and Pacific Islanders to pursue journalism at a time when there were few Asian American and Pacific Islander faces in the media. AAJA owes its founding to the vision of a small group of Los Angeles journalists. They included Tritia Toyota and Frank Kwan of KNBC-TV News; Bill Sing, Nancy Yoshihara and David Kishiyama of the Los Angeles Times; and, Dwight Chuman of Rafu Shimpo, a local Japanese American Newspaper. AAJA's expansion into a truly national organization took off in 1985 with the formation of additional chapters.
As a non-profit educational organization with more than 1,400 members in 21 chapters across the U.S. and Asia, AAJA's largest membership bases are generally concentrated in metropolitan areas on the West Coast (Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle), East Coast (New York City and Washington, D.C.) and Mid-West (Chicago). Members are also organized in other areas throughout the U.S. (Arizona, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Florida, Hawaii, Michigan, Minnesota, New England, North Carolina, Philadelphia, Portland, Sacramento, Texas, and San Diego).
In addition, AAJA has a growing number of members working throughout Asia -- in Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangladesh, which underscores the rapid growth of media properties in Asia and points the way to future expansion of the organization. Close to one-third of AAJA's members are students, attesting to the organization's emphasis on bringing young people into the news business. AAJA has also relied on leadership in the community and Asian-language media.
