From time to time, an industry or subject inspires us to create a best-of list. These are sites that produce out-of-this-world coverage in a crowded arena. In case you’ve missed some of these, you can find them here. If you think your site should be considered, give us a holler and tell us why.

The U.S. Asian population is diverse and fast growing. According to Pew Research Center, Asian Americans were the fastest-growing major racial or ethnic group from 2000 to 2015, with a 72 percent growth rate.

At that rate, Asian Americans could surpass Hispanics as the largest immigrant group by 2055.

With a population of more than 20 million in the US and a drive for increased Asian-American representation in film, media, and politics, we went on a search for publications that focus on bringing breaking news, investigative stories, lifestyle content, and more to this group.

While we celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we want to highlight some top sites with content targeting this key audience. These sites offer readers timely news and stories from and about the community.

1. Mochi Magazine

Founded in 2008 and volunteer-led, Mochi is an online magazine that targets young Asian-American women. Its articles offer Asian-American teenage girls life advice and aim to help readers gain self-esteem. The magazine covers topics like fashion and beauty, relationships, and college and careers.

Co-founders Maggie Hsu and Stephanie Wu encourage readers to engage with the content and magazine. They say on the site: “Let us inspire you to pursue a new career path, try out a new look, or listen to a different music genre. And if you have ideas, share them with us!”
