International Examiner

International Examiner

The "International Examiner" is a biweekly Asian American newspaper based in Seattle, Washington's International District. Distributed free, it was founded in 1974 by Gerald Yuasa and Lawrence Imamura to serve what the founders thought were the business interests of the Asian American community in Seattle's International District.

In 1975, the "Examiner" was purchased by the Alaska Cannery Workers Association, the first major Asian American labor organization in the country, for $1 and became an activist, community-based newspaper. Alought the paper became independent three years later, it nonetheless continued the tradition of community activism that was firmly established under the Alaska Cannery Workers Association. As such, "editors" were largely seen as community activists and organizers rather than "professional" journalists. As of 2004 its circulation is 10,000.

Today, the International Examiner is the oldest Asian American newspapers in the Northwest and the oldest continuously publishing pan-Asian newspaper in the country. The Examiner is a registered 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.
