“…Although this is the primary function of any newspaper, specialized newspapers have become particularly valuable channels of communication for underserved populations-populations that might not have regular access to mainstream media, or whose first language might differ from that used in a mainstream source (Viswanath & Lee, 2007). Underserved populations may benefit from news sources that cater to their specific needs, whether through culturally relevant content, a familiar language, or by providing a platform to communicate concerns of the population to society as a whole (Walter et al, 2019;Yu, 2017;Yu, 2018a;Yu & Matsaganis, 2019). For instance, Spanish-language newspapers provide useful information to recent immigrants and those who are not proficient in English, while at the same time offering news from a culturally congruent perspective.…”

“…There are, however, ways in which news media can work to overcome these knowledge gaps. Specialized news media, such as ethnic newspaperswhich are a low cost and trusted means of communication for many minority communities in the United States (Wilkin & Ball-Rokeach, 2006)-can become an effective vehicle for transmitting health messages and communicating concerns of the target population (Walter, Robbins, Murphy, & Ball-Rokeach, 2019;Yu, 2018a).…”

The cognitive mediation model (CMM) proposes indirect paths to news learning such that news surveillance increases news learning through attention to the news and elaboration about the news. But there is a need for additional research that tests key postulates of the CMM especially for media targeting underserved populations. The present study tested three versions of the CMM to model ethnic newspaper learning within a low-income, Spanish-speaking population (N = 150). The original CMM was not supported by the data as elaboration was not related to knowledge; however, a simplified version of the CMM (surveillance → attention → knowledge) was supported. Moreover, a serial mediation model that included a measure of health maven was supported such that news surveillance was positively related to knowledge through maven-ness and attention.

“…Habermas' public sphere is seen as a social realm in which public discourse, such as ethnicity, can be circulated and debated and allows the ethnic media to give its views. In Yu's words, the public sphere provides a platform where ethnic minorities have "the right to communicate" and "a right to be understood" (Yu 2018(Yu , 1979. Hence, it is through the public sphere that the ethnic media can overcome sociocultural marginalisation, counter negative representations and maintain and elevate their ethnic identity.…”

The fall of Suharto in 1998 brought winds of change to Indonesia, especially to policies concerning the Chinese. After being suppressed under the Suharto regime, Chinese Indonesians suddenly had an opportunity to express their cultural heritage in their own ethnic media, counter negative stereotypes and reconstruct an identity that had been virtually erased during the Suharto era. In this article, author examines the discursive practices Chinese Indonesians use to remould their ethnic identity through an analysis of the media strategies used to reinvigorate the Chinese Indonesian identity. It was found from the Chinese media, as exemplified in Qiandao Ribao, Guoji Ribao and Yindunixiya Shangbao, that the recreation of the Chinese identity requires an understanding of what it was to be Chinese through the use of the symbols most salient to Chinese ethnicity. The media have been strongly geared towards the reconstruction and maintenance of a Chinese identity that sees Chinese Indonesians as an imagined community whose ethnicity is symbolically perceived and maintained through frequent exposure to the ethnic media. By being exposed to the ethnic media, Chinese Indonesian readers can feel a sense of ethnic belonging and identity through perceived affiliation and shared symbols. However, although they succeeded in bringing Chinese culture back to the Indonesian public sphere, the diversity in the Chinese community challenges the media efforts to construct a definitive Chinese identity.

“…The contemporary public sphere includes multiculturalism, multi-ethnicity, and multilingualism, which are now common characteristics around the globe (Yu, 2018). Yu's research emphasised that ethnic media can be useful in helping immigrants to settle in their new country, understand the political process, and converse within their communities.…”

“…Ethnic media is important within the community, but what about the general society? Will ethnic media be competitive with mainstream media (Yu, 2018)? In my research, I will look at the issues in relation to which ethnic Chinese media and mainstream English language media can better serve immigrants and New Zealanders.…”

This article outlines work in progress on project concerning interactions between the Chinese community in New Zealand, ethnic Chinese media, mainstream English language media, particularly around the New Zealand 2020 general election. A wealth of past research has discussed ethnic Chinese language media in New Zealand, the Chinese diaspora, and general elections. This study will go beyond previous research to include mainstream English language media as part of the media resources available to Chinese New Zealanders considering participating as voters in general elections. For Chinese New Zealanders, understanding the diversity of media in New Zealand is likely to have a positive effect on their voting decisions, and encourage more thinking about government policies.
