The Pacific Citizen

Since September 1929, the print edition of the Pacific Citizen has been the leading national newspaper for the APA community. Originally called the Nikkei Shimin (Japanese American Citizen), the San Francisco-based newspaper was a lifeline for the Japanese American community.

At the outbreak of World War II and the subsequent unjust internment of 120,000 Japanese Americans, the Pacific Citizen was moved to Salt Lake City, Utah where editor Larry Tajiri was hired to continue publishing a weekly newspaper to keep the fragmented community informed. After WWII, the Pacific Citizen returned to the West Coast in Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo where the newspaper’s operations are still currently based.

Around 2014, Densho and the Pacific Citizen established a partnership to digitize and make accessible a full run of the newspaper from 1929 through 1996.
