Hyphen's Momo Chang Wins Center for Media Justice Award
Source: HYPHEN MAGAZINEHyphen's own Momo Chang, editor of the Lazy Susan section, is getting the Ida B. Wells Journalist for Justice Award for work covering the Asian American community for the Oakland Tribune.
Momo has been a Hyphen volunteer since 2005 and recently left the Tribune. The Ida B. Wells award, given by the Center for Media Justice, is a testament to her skill and commitment to the community, traits she's brought to Hyphen as well.
Here's what the Center for Media Justice said about Momo in giving her the award:
Momo has been a tireless researcher, reporter and writer -- elegantly covering multiple sides of critical stories like the police investigation of the Alameda homicide and the trials and successes of Asian immigrants and refugees in the Bay.The award is named for Wells, civil-rights activist and journalist who defended democracy and justice when segregation, lynching and disenfranchisement were the conditions of the day. The award goes to a journalist who has provided excellent coverage and representation of racial, economic, youth, and media justice issues.
Momo and other honorees will get their awards at a celebration on July 19 at the Oasis Restaurant and Bar in Oakland.
Congratulations, Momo!
