About New America Media

New America Media is the country's first and largest national collaboration and advocate of 2000 ethnic news organizations. Over 57 million ethnic adults connect to each other, to home countries and to America through 3000+ ethnic media, the fastest growing sector of American journalism. NAM is dedicated to bringing traditionally marginalized voices--those of ethnic minorities, immigrants, youth, and elders--into the national media-powered discourse.  Holding those voices as our central tenet, NAM's goal is to build an inclusive journalism and communications for our increasingly diverse and fragmented global community in the U.S. and overseas.
