"Asian-Americans in the Current Media," a lecture, by Daryl Chin will be given on Friday, April 29, 2005, 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Asian American/Asian Research Institute, 25 West 43rd Street, 18th floor, between 5th and 6th Avenues.
In the last decade, there have been so many changes in terms of Asians and Asian-Americans working in network television and the commercial cinema, a move both unprecedented and inevitable. Because Asian-Americans had been adept at navigating through independent production, cable-access broadcast, and public television access, many of the Asian-Americans who have developed their media careers in the past decade have been able to take advantage of the new possibilities open to them, but whether or not this will result in long-term career continuity remains a very open question.
Daryl Chin is Associate Editor of PAJ: A Journal of Performance & Art.
