San Francisco Supervisor Fiona Ma said that Chinese newspapers are generous - for example, more willing to print op-ed pieces. I would hope that mainstream papers would value that more." "I think that ethnic papers feel their readers care about issues we bring up. "In some ways, we find it easier to get the message out in ethnic media," said Brian Cheu, interim director of Chinese for Affirmative Action, a progressive civil rights group in San Francisco. About 57 percent of respondents were registered to vote. How often a person reads a Chinese-language paper or listens to Chinese- language radio suggests how engaged they are in their community, according to a 1999 poll by the Chinese American Voter Education Committee in San Francisco.Ĭonsumers of Chinese-language media are three times more likely to vote, compared to those who do not read Chinese newspapers or listen to the radio, the poll reports. Community advocates and politicians say the ethnic press plays a valuable role in their work, informing readers about the issues. She spoke from the busy and cramped World Journal offices in an industrial section of Millbrae.Ĭompared to the mainstream press, the Bay Area's Chinese-language newspapers give much more extensive coverage to such stories as visits to the Bay Area by Taiwan's Vice President Annette Lu, infighting among community powerbrokers and crimes involving Chinese victims - and suspects - often land on the front page. Now I'm very selective," said Portia Li, a Hong Kong native who has covered courts, criminal justice and labor for the World Journal since 1986. Steady streams of immigration have given birth to a range of different issues, politics and community events. The Bay Area's foreign-born Chinese population is 278,328 - with 51, 257 hailing from Hong Kong, and 50,164 from Taiwan, and 176,907 from the mainland, according to census figures. This bitter split has divided the Bay Area's Chinese community for more than half a century. In 1949, China's Kuomintang, or Nationalist government, retreated to the island and ruled in exile after its defeat by the Communists in the country's civil war. We were kicked out from the mainland a long time ago," Ni said.

"I still care about Taiwan politics, economy and social activity. For the most part, the World Journal is neutral in its coverage, he said, yet "old-fashioned" like him, referring to his background.īorn in China but raised in Taiwan, Ni is from a generation that mostly opposes independence for the island government, yet does not support unification with the Communist government on the mainland. Peter Ni, 64, of Fremont, says he has relied on the World Journal for political and foreign news for more than two decades. World Journal is the next most popular, followed by Ming Pao. The Louie Brothers Bookstore on Washington Street in San Francisco's Chinatown sells 10 different Chinese-language newspapers - including two imported from Hong Kong and one from Los Angeles.ĭuring the week, the shop sells 150 copies of Sing Tao daily and 250 to 300 a day on the weekend. The Chinese Press and International Daily News focus on China. Sing Tao is more dominant in San Francisco, while World Journal has a strong base in the South Bay, say community observers and newsstand sellers. Those from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia prefer Sing Tao and Ming Pao, old-timers in Chinatown buy the China Times, and readers from Taiwan buy the World Journal. The Bay Area is the latest North American battleground for Ming Pao, which fought against World Journal and Sing Tao Daily in Toronto, Vancouver and New York in the last decade.Īlthough Sing Tao, World Journal and Ming Pao all say their papers appeal to the entire Chinese community, they have reputations for filling distinct niches. Deeming Ming Pao a viable competitor in its home base of Hong Kong, Lam signed on. Sing Tao, a Hong Kong newspaper, founded its Bay Area edition in 1976.

He compared the Hong Kong edition of Ming Pao with Sing Tao Daily. The paper's editor-in-chief, Likcon Lam, said he flew to Hong Kong and did some research before accepting the job.

Ming Pao, with a staff of 20 reporters and editors and another 20 working in production, is trying to take on the established players who have been in the market for more than two decades.
