DESCRIPTION
The Japanese American Courier was the first English-language weekly published exclusively for the Nisei community. It was published and edited by James Sakamoto, one of the founding members of the Japanese American Citizens League. The Courier's first issue was published on January 1, 1928, and its last issue was dated April 24, 1942. The newspaper's content included editorials, sports, national and international news (with an emphasis on Japan), and local updates. The newspaper offices were based in Seattle, Washington, with local news focusing on the Nikkei communities around Puget Sound. As popularity of the newspaper grew in communities along the West Coast the paper started to include local updates from other communities such as Yakima, White River, and Portland.
