New America Media

New America Media (NAM) "is the country’s first and largest national collaboration of ethnic news organizations. Founded by the nonprofit Pacific News Service in 1996, NAM is headquartered in California, where ethnic media are the primary source of news and information for over half of the state’s new ethnic majority." 

In August 2009: "New America Media is calling for applications from ethnic media reporters and freelance journalists for its 2009 Stimulus Watch Fellowship. The fellows will research a story or a series of their design, documenting and explaining the impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) on the ethnic community served by their publication. The Fellowship is underwritten by a grant from the Open Society Institute."
