Nichi Bei Times to Fold, May Come Back as a Nonprofit
The Nichi Bei Times, which has been covering the Northern California Japanese American community for 63 years, will cease publication after its Sept. 10 issue.
Earlier this month, the Nichi Bei Times board of directors voted to cease operations for the San Francisco-based publication. Nichi Bei Times Vice President and English Edition Editor Kenji Taguma has formed the Nichi Bei Foundation with a new board of directors and hopes to continue publishing the paper as a nonprofit.
The media is taking a beating from the recession and ethnic media isn't immune. We at Hyphen welcome the Nichi Bei Foundation to the nonprofit struggle to keep independent, community media alive.

re: Nichi Bei Times to Fold, May Come Back as a Nonprofit
Thanks Harry for posting this. I'm excited to join the nonprofit team behind the Nichi Bei Foundation and invite the community to back us with the same enthusiasm they have shown for Hyphen.

You're welcome, Keith.Here how the San Francisco Chronicle covered the story.It got top of the page treatment in the Business section. Probably helps that the writer, Benny Evangelista, keeps up with what's happening in the Asian American community and may have flagged this story for his editors.
