General Overview
Established in 1990, KoreAm Journal is a rapidly growing monthly
magazine that highlights the news, stories and issues of Korean
Americans nationwide.
What started as a local paper went national in 1997 with a new
journal format and branch offices were set up in Washington,
D. C., Seattle and Honolulu. In February 1999 KoreAm Journal
emerged as a glossy magazine and became available at select
newsstands and bookstores across North America and Korea. The
publication is now published entirely in color.
By embracing all generations, including the mixed-race and
adoptee
communities, KoreAm Journal has become the most widely circulated
(more then 39,000 readers), longest-running (publishing 160-plus
issues over the last 13 years), independent English-language
publication serving the Korean American community. It has
been featured in publications, including Atlantic Monthly
and Monolid, and KoreAm articles have appeared in the Los
Angeles
Times and the New York Times Syndicate.
Mission Statement
KoreAm Journal's mission is to be a publication that provides
depth and insight into the evolving Korean American experience.

which includes a search engine that can access an archive of
all our past articles, this is an exciting time for our publication.

an integral part in our progress and development.
