Hyphen Publisher Lisa Lee and Hyphen are both nominated for Asian Pacific Heritage Month Awards being presented by the city of San Francisco. Congratulations to Lisa and Hyphen's staff of volunters and its contributors!

Along with Lisa, our friend Andrew Lam, an author and an editor at New America Media, and multimedia journalist Nicki Sun, who wrote about Far East Movement for Hyphen, are also nominated for Emerging Leadership.

Fellow Community Impact nominees are KQED, the PBS and NPR affiliate in San Francisco, and New America Media, an ethnic media news service.

In the Lifetime Achievement category, veteran San Francisco Bay Area television journalists David Louie and Jan Yanehiro are nominees.
