Chief Impact Officer Sisi Wei won <a href=\"https:\/\/awards.aaja.org\/2024-community-awards\/leadership-in-diversity-solidarity\">the leadership in diversity and solidarity award<\/a>, and investigative reporter Lam Thuy Vo won the <a href=\"https:\/\/awards.aaja.org\/2024-community-awards\/aaja-medill-innovator-award\">inaugural AAJA-Medill innovator award<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judges said, \u201cSisi Wei is a transformative leader who has turned The Markup into a diverse organization dedicated to having a real-world impact on people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/themarkup.org\/people\/sisi-wei\">Wei was editor-in-chief of The Markup<\/a> from 2022-24, and this year, The Markup joined with CalMatters, to build a powerhouse California-rooted nonprofit, independent and nonpartisan news organization. Her honor recognized her past (and continued) trailblazing work in creating journalism with a clear mandate to have real-world impact on people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The value of diversity is evident through Wei\u2019s leadership at The Markup, both through how she approached hiring and staffing a diverse newsroom, and how she guided the team in producing thoughtful, award-winning journalism serving historically marginalized communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During her first year as editor-in-chief, she <a href=\"https:\/\/themarkup.org\/inside-the-markup\/2023\/01\/18\/five-ways-toward-a-fairer-more-transparent-hiring-process\">redefined The Markup\u2019s hiring practices<\/a> to be among the most respectful and equitable in the industry. As a result, over the course of 12 months, The Markup\u2019s newsroom staff grew from 39% to 65% journalists of color, and its editorial leadership team grew to 60% women of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Markup\u2019s journalism and mission, under Sisi\u2019s guidance, also transformed from reporting on how technology shapes our lives, to challenging technology to serve the public good, and for its journalism to have <a href=\"https:\/\/themarkup.org\/series\/impact\">a real-world impact<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to The Markup\u2019s major investigations highlighting how people have used technology and algorithms to directly harm <a href=\"https:\/\/themarkup.org\/machine-learning\/2023\/04\/27\/false-alarm-how-wisconsin-uses-race-and-income-to-label-students-high-risk\">estudiantes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/themarkup.org\/investigation\/2023\/02\/28\/l-a-s-scoring-system-for-subsidized-housing-gives-black-and-latino-people-experiencing-homelessness-lower-priority-scores\">unhoused people<\/a>, and anyone <a href=\"https:\/\/themarkup.org\/series\/still-loading\">suffering from the digital divide<\/a>, for the first time, The Markup also published stories <a href=\"https:\/\/themarkup.org\/hello-world\/2023\/12\/23\/meet-the-people-taking-the-markup-reporting-off-the-page-and-into-real-life\">by community members themselves<\/a>, amplifying their voice, their perspectives, and the solutions they\u2019ve come up with as a part of multiple investigative packages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThroughout her career, Wei has valued helping fellow journalists of color succeed,\u201d judges said. \u201cShe is a longtime mentor of multiple AAJA members\u2014often those who are struggling to find a way to combine journalism, data, and technology\u2014because she wants to pass forward the extraordinary mentorship she received from AAJA past president Paul Cheung.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former Markup investigative reporter Lam Thuy Vo was awarded the inaugural AAJA-Medill Innovator Community Award, for her fresh and innovative way of approaching AAPI issues in journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judges said, \u201cLam Thuy Vo has pioneered what it means to truly serve the AAPI communities she reports on. Going beyond the journalism itself, Vo used what she learned during her reporting on misinformation in Vietnamese immigrant communities to create a misinformation workshop tailored to that community. After publishing, Vo returned in person to give the workshop. Her journalism not only highlights AAPI issues but also highlights how misinformation coverage has long ignored the specific issues experienced by AAPI communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vo\u2019s series on the impact of misinformation on the Vietnamese immigrant community, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/themarkup.org\/series\/languages-of-misinformation\">Languages of Misinformation<\/a>&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/themarkup.org\/inside-the-markup\/2024\/05\/28\/the-markup-wins-aaja-journalism-excellence-award\">also won<\/a> the Asian American Journalism Association\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/awards.aaja.org\/2024-journalism-excellence-awards\/excellence-in-online-digital-journalism-engagement\">excellence in online\/digital journalism engagement award<\/a> a principios de este a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judges said the series \u201cbrilliantly tackled misinformation on YouTube, hitting home for the Vietnamese and wider AAPI communities. By teaming up with Mai Bui, a 67-year-old YouTuber grandma, and crafting a guide for younger Vietnamese Americans, the work didn\u2019t just tell a story\u2014it gave a platform to real voices and bridged generational gaps. The multi-layered approach to connecting with the audience sets the work apart, making it a standout choice for the category.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations too, to all of this year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/awards.aaja.org\/2024-journalism-excellence-awards\">AAJA award winners<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-calmatters-and-aaja-continue-training-high-school-journalists\">CalMatters\u2019 and AAJA continue training high school journalists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CalMatters partnered for a <a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/inside-the-newsroom\/2023\/09\/calmatters-journalism-programs-empower-students-and-educators\/\">second year<\/a> with the association on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jcal.news\/about\/\">the JCal program<\/a>, a summer training program for high school journalists. The work is part of CalMatters\u2019 various programs dedicated to advancing <a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/youthjournalism\/\">youth journalism<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAAJA is proud to be partnering with CalMatters again for this program\u2019s second year. Last year\u2019s cohort produced incredible work on the impact of climate change and drought on California\u2019s communities, many of which were published by local news outlets. We\u2019re thankful for the AAJA members and local newsrooms who supported JCal students, and we are excited for a second year of developing and training aspiring California journalists,\u201d said AAJA Executive Director Naomi Tacuyan Underwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to continue working with AAJA to help nurture the careers of these talented young journalists,\u201d said CalMatters Editor-in-Chief Kristen Go. \u201cThey help make their communities richer by the stories they tell. Watching their excitement and partnership with their mentors is inspiring and energizing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over five days in mid-June, the 22 students produced stories under the mentorship of 11 professionals and gained first hand experience in reporting on projects themed around California\u2019s next workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaja.org\/2024\/05\/14\/jcal-aaja-and-calmatters-program-for-california-high-school-students-selects-22-students-for-2024-cohort\/\">This year\u2019s students<\/a> came to Sacramento from across the state, including Granite Bay, Fresno, San Diego, Atascadero and beyond. Mentors included journalists from The New York Times, KAZU, Berkeleyside and The Desert Sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith CalMatters as a partner and fortified by key mentors, AAJA aims to provide students with the introduction to ethical journalism practices and exposure to newsroom workflow through various curated sessions and activations,\u201d said AAJA Director of Special Initiatives Felicia Chanco \u201cThe impact of JCal goes beyond the week we host the cohort in Sacramento. After closely working with the students, it is inspiring to know these students will soon step into their potential of being the next generation of media professionals that are community-responsive and equity-minded.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The awards honor thoughtful reporting, thorough coverage and strong storytelling and celebrate stories that would have gone untold without the cultural competence that AAJA journalists bring to the profession.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":435357,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"single-feature.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_stopmodifiedupdate":false,"_modified_date":"","newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","apple_news_api_created_at":"2024-08-13T12:01:50Z","apple_news_api_id":"8c3cce29-de00-41a7-a6ed-090dad73e108","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2026-02-10T17:23:19Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AjDzOKd4AQaem7QkNrXPhCA","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_spanish_translation_id":0,"_is_translation":false,"_newspack_byline_active":false,"_newspack_byline":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"newspack_content_restriction_is_exempt":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[66183,48],"tags":[],"legislator":[],"bill":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[60609],"class_list":["post-435412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-awards-and-announcements","category-inside-the-newsroom","entry"],"acf":[],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
