Description:
Asian Media Access is a non-profit organization dedicated to meeting the media and information technology needs of the Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities in MN. Our mission is to "Connect the Disconnected." To this end, we work to promote the use of the media and information technology as an educational and communicative tool; to present AAPI issues and perspectives in the mainstream media; to empower AAPI youth with leadership and media production skills. Our programs include Asian movie exhibitions, several media educational workshops, a youth training Media Camp, a cable access show entitled "East Meets West," which is cablecast monthly throughout the Minneapolis / St. Paul area, and we will soon host a community-wide virtual information database for health and social services in various Asian languages.
