Los Angeles roots of Asian American journalists' group


The Asian American Journalists Association was started in Los Angeles in 1981 by Tritia Toyota and Frank Kwan of KNBC, Bill Sing, Nancy Yoshihara and David Kishiyama of the Los Angeles Times, and Dwight Chuman of Rafu Shimpo. The group's national convention returns to Los Angeles in August for the first time in 17 years. Laura Ling, the Current TV reporter who was held in North Korea last year, is one of the speakers.
