''Hyphen'' is an American magazine, produced three times a year by a volunteer staff; it is a not-for-profit organization. It was founded in 2002 by a group of San Francisco Bay Area journalists, activists, and artists including Melissa Hung, a former reporter for the ''Houston Press'' and ''East Bay Express''; Claire Light, former program manager for Kearny Street Workshop; Yuki Tessitore, of ''Mother Jones; ''Mia Nakano, photojournalist, and filmmaker Jennifer Huang. Stefanie Liang, a graphic designer from ''Red Herring magazine'' joined the staff as artistic director before the publication of the first issue. Its advisory board includes notable Asian American journalists such as Helen Zia and Nguyen Qui Duc, the host of ''Pacific Time''. The first issue was released in June 2003. ''Hyphen'' is one of several Asian American media ventures created in the wake of ''A Magazines demise. Shortly after its release, the publication was sharply criticized by ''AsianWeek'' columnist Emil Guillermo who theorized that ''Hyphens young editors were arrogant, ashamed of their Asian heritage, and disrespectful of existing ethnic media in his weekly column. He later said that he had not actually read the magazine. The magazine's first issue contained a story package on the history of Asian American community activism. Its content is decidedly to the left, feminist, and non-mainstream. Its coverage includes politics, arts, and pop culture. In 2004, the magazine was nominated for an Utne Independent Press Award for Best New Title. In January 2006, ''Hyphens Body Issue won the Independent Press Association's Best Cover award for an image of an Asian American man, Yusuke Miyashita, partially submerged in a bathtub full of edamame. Mr. Hyphen, a pageant created by the magazine to showcase more positive images of Asian American men, debuted in May 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mr. Hyphen Contest )〕 In the fall of 2007, the magazine received its second nomination for an Utne Independent Press Award, this time for Best Design.
