AAJA MediaWatch/Style Guide Committee
MediaWatch’s primary goal is to hold news organizations accountable to the highest standards of fair and accurate coverage of the AAPI community. This committee works primarily through Slack to produce guidance for properly covering AAPI communities and  flag problematic coverage.

MediaWatch’s work can range from releasing public statements to developing style guides to reaching out privately to news organizations for a dialogue about coverage decisions. In the past, it has helped develop guidance for covering COVID-19 and demanded an apology and accountability following an offensive Fox News “Watters’ World” segment.

We are also launching a revamp of our style guide to covering Asian American and Pacific Islander issues, and are looking for volunteers for that, as well.
