The site gives a wide variety of features and articles about Asians, Asian Americans, and the Asian culture. It gives information about history and issues. This website is a great resource for people of the mass media. Journalists need to be aware of all kinds of diversity, especially when writing about a particular culture. “Asian-Nation” is a great informational tool to become aware of all topics of Asian culture. The site discusses the stereotypes of Asian people and gives great insight from a true perspective.
All people working in the mass media industry can use this site for many different things. It talks about religion, Asian cuisine, sports, martial arts, sex, and assimilation. Knowing the information about this culture gives the writer accurate coverage of this diverse group of people. In order to write good one must understand what he or she is writing about. People of the mass media should have no problem writing about different cultures and understanding them because there are so many resources at their fingertips. It is important for the mass media to be knowledgeable about diversity and to reflect it so they can help other people—the community—to understand and be more accepting to different cultures. Another great feature about this website is that it can teach sensitivity. Sensitivity towards customs and respect towards culture is needed.
