Bao Anh Do

Bao Anh Do Anh Do writes an Asian affairs column for The Orange County Register, along with working as vice president of business at Nguoi Viet Daily News, the largest Vietnamese-language newspaper in the United States. She edits Nguoi Viet 2, its weekly English section, which partners with her morning radio show that the Register sponsors.

Do, a journalism graduate of the University of Southern California, also studied international relations at Regents College in London and Spanish at the National Autonomous University in Mexico City. Born in Saigon, she grew up in the richness of California's cultures where her writing about race and religion has been honored by Columbia University's School of Journalism, the University of Washington's DART award, Freedom Newspapers' Sweepstakes Award and the Asian American Journalists Association.

She started her career at The Dallas Morning News and The Seattle Times, and has reported from India, Mexico, Vietnam, Guatemala, Peru, England and Cuba.

Talking points:

What do we as Vietnamese Americans bring to a story, based on our background, community awareness and traditions? When can this help us - when can it hurt us?

Delve into misconceptions about the field of journalism and show how individuals can help ethnic groups by telling stories that add a personal dimension to demographic changes.

Diversity. It's a bottom-line issue in the workforce, especially when it comes to the media. If we expect to build newspaper readership or a broadcast audience, we cannot afford to miss or exclude the varying voices and views in our neighborhoods, our businesses and our school. Let's talk about the trends in this type of coverage � coverage that's more than just researching race but spanning age, economics, religion, geography and sexual orientation.

Tying the elements together. How can members of immigrant groups get their news into the news where they live? And what are writers and editors doing to reach out?
