The International Examiner
The Newspaper of the Northwest Asian American Communities
Internship Program
ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINER
Established in 1974, the IE is the oldest and largest non-profit pan-Asian
American publication in the country. The IE inspires to be a credible
catalyst for building an inspiring, connected, well-respected, and
socially-conscious Asian Pacific American (APA) community.
OUR VISION
The IE plans many changes in the up-coming year. We plan to expand
substantially across the Northwest, in the coming years, to be a voice for
Asian Americans while promoting the northwest APA community. And, we are
moving toward a hybrid magazine/newspaper-style of writing and design.
