250 Supporting Subscribers Sustain Cultural News
The Cultural News Association invites Japanese culture enthusiasts to participate in our Supporting Subscriber Program for Cultural News.
Cultural News began as a monthly newspaper in July 1998 and continued as a tabloid publication until January 2020, when the COVID‑19 pandemic brought cultural programs in Southern California to a halt. In response, Cultural News relaunched in June 2020 as a weekly digital publication, first in PDF format and now as an email newsletter.
Today, the newsroom of Cultural News not only publishes Weekly Cultural News online, but also maintains a community website that serves as a digital archive of Japanese cultural programs in Southern California and Arizona, recording over 15 years of cultural history.
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) increasingly shapes how information is distributed, maintaining an accurate and accessible digital archive of Japanese cultural activities has become more important than ever.
The Cultural News Association, established in 2019, supports the Newsroom’s operations and invites the community to help sustain this mission through supporting subscriptions and donations. The newsroom of Cultural News requires approximately $30,000 annually to continue its work.
Weekly Cultural News online and access to the Cultural News website are always free to the public. There is no paywall.
If 250 supporting subscribers are achieved, Cultural News can continue publishing sustainably for future generations.
