A Message from STF Chair, Carolyn Hong
Welcome to the AAJA Sports Task Force! Sports play an important role in our lives beyond just entertainment. They mirror everyday triumphs and struggles and teach life lessons. They help communities heal from tragedies. Sports also bring to the forefront issues like concussion dangers, sexual orientation, domestic violence and child abuse. Now, more than ever, our roles as sports journalists/media professionals are impactful beyond our own columns, articles, blogs, photos, radio broadcasts, sportscasts and documentaries. Our perspectives as Asian American sports journalists/media professionals are critical in a constantly evolving, multi-cultural society. This is why the AAJA Sports Task Force has been created. We will exchange ideas and experiences and create a networking outlet so that we may continue to build a strong pipeline of Asian American sports media professionals who will carry on the message of sports relevance for years to come. Please join me in making this commitment to help ensure a long and successful future for the STF!
